EU "코로나19 백신 접종, 회원국 모두 같은 날 시작하자"
The EU's 27 member nations aim to start COVID-19 vaccinations on the same day,... a move designed to symbolize unity.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen's speech to the European Parliament on Wednesday came as pressure is building to catch up with Britain and the U.S.,... which have already started their mass vaccination programs with Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine.
EU states have the option to individually move forward with the vaccinations,.. but the European Commission wants a coordinated roll-out to ensure no member state is left behind.
The European Medicines Agency will bring forward a special meeting to discuss conditional approval for the Pfizer vaccine next Monday.
