Coronavirus in the world, Biden: “100 million vaccinations in 100 days. Objective achieved in advance”

by admin

US President Joe Biden announced that the goal of 100 million vaccinations against Covid-19 during the first 100 days of his term would be met today, several weeks in advance. However, the number of new Covid-19 cases remains at a high level in the United States even though one in eight Americans are vaccinated, according to data released Thursday by the American Centers for Prevention and Control (CDC). About 53,000 new cases have been registered on average every day in the past week, and the number of cases is increasing in 15 states and territories, especially in the north-east, which could be explained by the spread of the more contagious British variant.

AstraZeneca in Europa

AstraZeneca’s vaccine, suspended in several European countries, is “safe and effective,” the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said yesterday.

Italy, Spain, Germany and France in particular have announced the resumption of vaccination with this product but Norway and Sweden prefer to delay. AstraZeneca on Thursday welcomed the conclusions of British and European regulators on the safety of its coronavirus vaccine, in a press release published by the Anglo-Swedish group.
