18 de December de 2020

The EU will begin vaccination on December 27. This is what the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has assured on her Twitter account:

It’s Europe’s moment.

On 27, 28 and 29 December vaccination will start across the EU.

Securing doses of future vaccines

The European Commission is working closely with pharmaceutical companies and the European Medicines Agency to ensure that a safe and effective vaccine becomes available as soon as possible. As with any vaccine, they will go through rigorous scientific assessment before they are put on the market.

The European Commission has secured agreements with 6 promising vaccine developers so far, and more may come.

How do COVID-19 vaccines work?

Vaccines work by preparing a person’s immune system (the body’s natural defences) to recognise and defend itself against a specific disease.

Building immunity

Most research on COVID-19 vaccines involves generating responses to all or part of a protein that is unique to the virus that causes COVID-19. When a person receives the vaccine, it will trigger an immune response. Most COVID-19 vaccines require two doses to build immunity.

If the person is infected by the virus later on, the immune system recognises the virus. The system is then prepared to attack the virus.

COVID-19 vaccines: making sure they are safe

All medicines, including vaccines, are closely monitored in the EU after they are authorised and put on the market.

Statistically, side effects are rare or very rare. The safety and effectiveness of authorised COVID-19 vaccines will be rigorously monitored, as for all medicines, through the EU’s established medicines monitoring system.

Europe already has a robust system to ensure long-term vaccine safety, and the European Medicines Agency has a solid track record in keeping Europe safe.
