Malta currently leads the charge on EU vaccination targets and it may meet the European Commission’s target on time if daily doses are doubled, where the Commission wants 70% of EU adults to be inoculated by summer.

Meanwhile, Dr. Fearne expressed his anticipation of the European Medicines Authority’s approval and arrival of the AstraZeneca vaccine, following the pharmaceutical company’s announcement of cutting back EU deliveries.
