The European Union (EU) has reached its goal of full COVID-19 vaccination of 70% of the adult population, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday. "70% of adults in EU are fully vaccinated. I want to thank the many people making this great achievement possible,” Von Der Leyen tweeted.
“But we must go further! We need more Europeans to vaccinate. And we need to help the rest of the world vaccinate, too. We'll continue supporting our partners," she added.
