Neither Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz nor Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen would state it so openly, but both are losing faith in the European Unionâs ability to vaccinate the blocâs people fast enough.

Under pressure to boost vaccine supplies in the EU, the European Medicines Agency has announced it will start a review of Russia’s Sputnik V product.
The EMA said it has started a “rolling review” of the vaccine to speed up its possible authorization. Such reviews allow the EU agency’s medicines committee to assess data as it becomes available from ongoing studies. Once the committee decides it has sufficient data, the developer of the vaccine can submit a formal application.

European countries need to increase vigilance for new strains of the coronavirus amid a rise in cases, the head of the WHO s European office says, as the leaders of Israel, Austria and Denmark announce a vaccine alliance. Last week, new cases of COVID-19 in Europe rose 9 per cent to just above 1 million. This brought a promising six week decline in new cases to an end, Hans Kluge of the Copenhagen-based agency said.
He noted that more than half of the 53 countries in the region have registered a rise in new infections.
