BRUSSELS, Sept 2 (Reuters) – EU countries are starting to provide COVID reminders to their populations now to engage a new wave of infections expected this fall and winter, the bloc’s executive said in a document published via Reuters on Friday ahead of its official launch. .
The Brussels-based European Commission said more than 2,300 people still die from COVID in the bloc’s week, while other negative effects of the disease on health come with lasting symptoms and intellectual problems.
“The last two years have shown that the EU can cope with a wave of COVID-19 this autumn and winter,” the Commission said, as back-to-school and cooler weather push other people inland, which also promotes the spread of seasonal flu.
“Vaccination remains the most reliable route for serious diseases and thus decrease mortality from COVID-19,” he said, calling on the 27 EU states to prepare vaccination campaigns, adding vaccines adapted to the new variants.
“They will be deployed before the next wave. “
On Thursday, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) updated the BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna boosters for the new COVID-19 variants.
“It is to continue to prioritise the adoption of the number one vaccine and the first booster dose among all eligible people,” said the EU’s most sensible fitness official, Stella Kyriakides, in reaction to the EMA’s decision.
