A Quarter of EU Adults Have Received Their First Covid Shot

One in four adults in the European Union have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday, as the bloc seeks to leave behind its supply woes and pick up the pace of its inoculation drive.

“So far, 129 million vaccines have been administered in the EU,” von der Leyen told EU lawmakers in Brussels. “Approximately 26% of adults have received at least one dose.”
