The warning comes despite the fact that the 27-nation bloc, with its population of 450 million, has provided more than 1 billion doses of potential COVID-19 vaccines from three drug producers.
Experts warn that not every possible vaccine can be effective.

A second official confirmed the statement. An EU Commission spokesman was not immediately available for comment. There is still no effective COVID-19 vaccine, but the first matches may be available early next year, the Commission said in early October, writes “Reuters”.
