Video on COVID-19 vaccination in the EU/EEA and the UK
It's not known when potential COVID-19 #vaccines will be available for use in the EU/EEA and the UK, but supply is likely to be limited in the early stages. Countries will therefore need to develop a vaccination strategy and identify priority groups for #vaccination.

Video on vaccination: Fighting tetanus
Tetanus is transmitted by bacteria living in soil, animal saliva and manure which can enter the body through minor wounds on the skin. Today, a widely used vaccine protects against tetanus.

Video on vaccination: Fighting measles
Measles is one of the world’s most contagious diseases. The measles virus was identified in 1954 and a vaccine was introduced in 1963. Between 2000 and 2018, global measles deaths decreased by 73%, and 23 million deaths were prevented thanks to vaccination. But the fight is still ongoing. Learn more about it in our video (turn on subtitles in your language)!
