Believe in science’: EU kicks off COVID-19 vaccine campaign

Doctors,nurses and the elderly rolled up thier sleeves across the European Union to receive the first doses of the corona virus vaccine sunday in a symbolic show of unity and moment of hope for a continent confronting its worst health care crisis in a century. For health care workers who have been battling the virus with only masks and shields to protect themselves the vaccines represented an emotional relief as well as a public chance to urge Europe’s 450 million people to get the shots for their own health and that of others. Even though a few countries gave out doses a day early,the coordinated rollout for the 27 nation bloc was aimed at projecting a unified message that the vaccine was safe and Europe’s best chance to emerge from the pandemic and the economic devastation caused by months of lockdown.
