Pfizer vaccination has started at the same time in 27 member states of the European Union, including France, Italy and Spain.
The elderly, nursing home residents, and medical personnel are eligible for primary vaccination.

In the Czech Republic and Greece, the prime minister received the vaccine first and encouraged vaccination.
French President Macron, who was recently released from quarantine due to the coronavirus, tweeted that he had a new weapon to fight the virus, and Austrian Prime Minister Kurz said the vaccine would completely change the face of the war against the epidemic.

The European Union intends to be vaccinated against 70% of the population with the capacity for collective immunity.
However, in the case of the Pfizer vaccine, it is difficult to accelerate due to distribution and storage problems.
As such, interest is increasing in the AstraZeneca vaccine, which can be stored and distributed at room temperature and is inexpensive.
[그렉 헌트/호주 보건장관]“The results (of the AstraZeneca vaccine) are good. We will have a safe, effective and high-volume vaccine.”
In an interview with the British ‘Times’, the CEO of AstraZeneca expressed his confidence that “we have found the formula for the success of the vaccine” and “we can prevent severe crowns 100%”.
He also said: “It will also work for mutant viruses.”
British media predicted that if approval for the urgent use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK falls within this year, vaccination will start next Monday.
