EU sets 21 September goal for 70% adult vaccination
By EUobserver
EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Friday specified the EU executive wants to see 70 percent of the adult population vaccinated by 21 September. Previously, the commission said it wanted to see the 70-percent goal reached "by the summer", and "by the end of the summer". "This sets a date, it is very clear the summer ends normally on the 21st of September," she told journalists.
