EU: We'll have enough vaccine doses for adults by mid-July

The European Union (EU) will have enough COVID-19 vaccine doses to cover 70 percent of its adult population by mid-July due to higher production within the bloc, a senior official said Tuesday.

"Fifty-three factories are producing vaccines in the EU. Our continent is now the largest producer in the world after the United States," internal markets commissioner Thierry Breton was quoted by AFP as having told French daily Le Figaro.
