Israel’s vaccination campaign has got moving faster than other advanced nations
BRUSSELS – The EU cleared a second coronavirus vaccine for use Wednesday, in a relief to struggling European countries as the world reached a grim new record of 15,700 deaths in 24 hours.
The Moderna vaccine is now set to join Pfizer-BioNTech’s jab for use in the 27-nation European Union, where governments are grappling with soaring caseloads and slow rollouts of the vaccines already available.
“We’ll have more than enough safe and effective vaccines for protecting all Europeans,” promised European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.
The breakthrough came as 15,769 Covid-19 deaths around the world were registered in the past 24 hours, according to an AFP tally at 1100 GMT on Wednesday — a new record.
