The Planning Disaster
Germany and Europe Could Fall Short on Vaccine Supplies
The EU and Berlin have insisted there will be sufficient vaccine available, but delays in signing purchasing contracts mean that the elixir will arrive late and there might not be enough. The EU even declined an option that would have allowed for the purchase of hundreds of millions of extra doses.

Such are images of hope: Nurses getting vaccinated. Pallets of packaged vaccines distributed on special flights. Mayors exulting over the beginning of the end of the pandemic.” A president who is preparing the country for better times.
Labour MEP Cyrus Engerer has been appointed co-chair of the Mental Health Europe coalition within the European Parliament.
In a statement he emphasised it is time for the European Union to discuss a unified approach to mental health and wellbeing. “Mental health should be at the forefront of the agenda, especially when discussions commence on a European Health Union,” he said.
During these unprecedented times, when people have been encouraged not to socialise and to spend most of their time within their homes, it is even more important to ascertain that mental health aid is available to all those who need it, Engerer said adding that while health resources are stretched, it is imperative to continue to allocate sufficient resources to address other health matters, especially those on mental health.

De Commissie verwelkomt het door het Europees Parlement en de Raad bereikte voorlopige politieke akkoord over het nieuwe ambitieuze EU4Health-programma. Het EU4Health-programma zal een belangrijke bijdrage leveren aan het herstel na de COVID-19-crisis door de bevolking van de EU gezonder te maken, de veerkracht van de gezondheidszorgstelsels te vergroten en innovatie in de gezondheidszorg te bevorderen. Het zal ook helpen om de door de COVID-19-crisis aan het licht gekomen lacunes op te vullen en ervoor te zorgen dat de gezondheidsstelsels in de EU sterker staan tegenover mogelijke nieuwe gezondheidsbedreigingen, als onderdeel van een toekomstige robuuste Europese gezondheidsunie.
