COVID-19 & the veterinary profession

Today, the EU Finance Ministers will exchange views in a remote meeting concerning the budget for Europe’s recovery post COVID-19 crisis. The Commission, the European Central Bank and the European investment bank will provide an overview of the implementation of the measures taken so far, as well as future plans related to EU’s recovery needs.

The EU is drafting an EU vaccination strategy which will provide a framework for national vaccination strategies. Considering the uncertainty regarding the availability of vaccines, the availability of sufficient doses of vaccines will be an important factor in these considerations and who needs them first.
