MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th December, 2021) The European Union has enough doses of vaccines to conduct booster vaccination, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday.
"This year, millions of Europeans got vaccinated against #COVID19 ... We have enough doses for vaccination and booster shots," von der Leyen posted on Twitter.
