The European Union has started to roll out a mass vaccination campaign against COVID-19. The campaign follows the authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine by the European Commission.

First Covid-19-vaccines arrived in EU member states on Saturday and according to a report in BBC, some countries started administering the jabs on Saturday itself.
"Today, we start turning the page on a difficult year. The #COVID19 vaccine has been delivered to all EU countries. Vaccination will begin tomorrow across the EU," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen tweeted on Saturday.
"The #EUvaccinationdays are a touching moment of unity. Vaccination is the lasting way out of the pandemic," she added.
She said that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had been delivered to all 27 member states.
More than 3,35,000 Covid-related deaths have been reported from the EU so far.
Deliveries of the vaccine will continue in December and on a steady weekly basis during the following months.
The European Union has secured contracts for over two billion vaccine doses against Covid-19 from a range of drug companies, said the BBC report.
