As Europe launches a cross-border vaccination programme of unprecedented scale on Sunday, Ursula von der Leyen , president of the Brussels-based European Commission, who is coordinating it, said, "Our European vaccination days are touching a moment of unity." Today is delivery day and tomorrow is vaccination against Covid 19 across the European Union." The vaccine is made available at the same time to all EU countries. The federal government is planning to distribute more than 1.3 million vaccine doses to local health authorities by the end of this year and about 700,000 per week from January. Vaccinations will be free and available to everyone from mid-2021, when the priority groups are expected to have finished vaccination campaigns.
