Brussels, Apr 2 (IANS): Five European Union (EU) member states will share nearly three million additional solidarity vaccine doses following an agreement with the majority of other members.
After days of negotiations, EU ambassadors on Thursday agreed to change a system that usually distributes vaccines between the bloc s 27 countries based on population size, reports Xinhua news agency.
The tweak was aimed at helping the member states that need more vaccines in their fight against the coronavirus.
The discussion came after EU leaders adopted a statement at their summit last week tasking the Committee of Permanent Representatives to address the issue of the speed of delivery of vaccines when allocating the 10 million BioNTech-Pfizer accelerated doses in the second quarter of 2021 in a spirit of solidarity .
