UK has now vaccinated more people than entire Europe, EU admits bloc was slow

Grant Shapps, Britain’s transport secretary, said the United Kingdom has now vaccinated more people against Covid-19 than the whole of Europe put together. So far, the UK has vaccinated 19.71% of its population. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen conceded that the 27-member EU fell behind. She said, ’We were late to authorize, we were too optimistic on production.’
