Over 250 million people
70% of adults in the European Union are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
That amounts to over 250 million people across the bloc.
Over 88% of adults in Ireland are fully vaccinated - which is much higher than the EU average.
President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says the pandemic is still far from over:
Since December 2020, the EU has exported 700 million vaccine doses to 130 countries worldwide.

The EU takes its global responsibility seriously.
In parallel with delivering vaccines in the EU, we’re leading by example by exporting around half of the vaccines produced in Europe https://t.co/61qnTdrw2z
