Feb 17 2021

The European Union has revealed that they have reached an agreement with Moderna to secure another 300 million doses of their COVID-19 vaccine amid worries caused by the recent spread of virus variants.

The news comes after the EU’s purchase of another 200 million doses of Pifzer and BioNTech vaccines with EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen stating that with 2.6 million doses the union will be able to provide vaccines to citizens, neighbours and partners.
