But there is no denying that vaccine production is ramping up heavily in EU this month, so we just have to hope that logistics follow.
There's still the problem of want to be vaccinated, which is pretty low among younger age groups. By some models, we'd need 90% of the whole population vaccinated to stop the spread of the so-called British variant. In other words, even 100% of all adults wouldn't be enough.
It makes no sense to talk about the percentage in Europe if we are talking about a global pandemic, and 70% by end of June is quite optimistic, even for Europe. Look at the global numbers and you will realize that we either need to go another way or we have to wait a long time till it s back to normal. In China not 1% is vaccinated yet.
Globally at this point 1.9% of the population got full protection - so you can calculate yourself how long this will take.
