On 14 August, the European Commission has reached a first agreement to purchase a potential vaccine against COVID-19 as well as to donate to lower and middle income countries or re-direct to other European countries.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, said: “The European Commission’s intense negotiations continue to achieve results. Today’s agreement is the first cornerstone in implementing the European Commission’s Vaccines Strategy.
