EU Gets Its First Vaccine Shipments, Hungary Administers First Doses

The video discusses the initial administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to healthcare workers in Europe, with Slovakia expected to follow. The EU aims for a coordinated vaccine rollout amid high infection rates, particularly in Italy and Spain. Germany's health minister emphasizes the vaccine's role in ending the pandemic. Initial shipments will cover fewer than 5000 people per country, with mass vaccinations starting in January. Countries like France, Germany, and Spain prioritize the elderly, while Italy and Poland focus on healthcare workers. A new, more contagious virus variant is spreading, but vaccine producers are confident in its efficacy, pending further studies.
