'Several European Union countries are now vaccinating their population against Covid-19 faster than the UK.

After a sluggish start to their vaccine rollout, many EU nations have picked up the pace.

Malta now has the fastest rate in the EU, with a seven-day average of 1.31 doses per 100 people every day, compared to 0.71 in the UK.

Other countries like Germany, Spain, Portugal and Belgium are also vaccinating at a faster pace than Britain'

Hopefully a good sign 


Well of course they are, some nations are so far behind they have to finally catch up. 

At our vaccination centre on Friday the6 average age would have been early 20s but most I saw were late teens! We as a family parents both fully vaccinated, and child has her first and she’s in her 20s, that would be a rarity in Spain. 

As for the comments on Malta, frankly that island could be done in a week! and we in the U.K. have given some 600,000 plus on Saturday and it’s going well thankfully with over 20 million of a population of 60 plus million FULLY VACCINATED and so many others that equates to near 60 million doses fairly soon, so whilst it may look good the EU COCKED UP. Watched JABBED on demand Ch4 


Sadly we have a huge resistance to vaccination in ethnic groups and that will remain a problem, but nobody wins until we are all done and even then deaths will still happen it’s nature.

Spot on.

I cant remember which one, but it's in inverted commas because it was an except from the UK press - cut and pasted as printed.

I find it strange that you refer to the EU as a corrupt institution, which it might we'll be, as no country is perfect, yet you seem to ignore the fact that Tory politicians in the UK are caught out lying every single day of the week, especially the chief lier Johnson who leads a government that is a front for a criminal organization. So be grateful that you don't live here under the most corrupt government in our history.

You have to think of the logistics level.  Malta is smaller and less complex than the U.K., which is smaller and less complex than the EU, which is smaller and less complex than the developing world. They all need to be vaccinated, and there’s not much to be gained in jingoism.

Hello David, with regard to your message I am not ignoring anything in fact I have a very low regard for a lot of politicians , they  tell lies of course ,Johhnson whom I am no fan of ,but it has to be said that due to the EU dithering and trying to political point score against UK, shot themselves in the foot and are now playing catch up. You say that the EU might well be corrupt well that is the biggest understatement and yes the UK as well but there is a difference and its elections ,we can get rid of them by our votes but I dont remember having a say in who took over as head of the EU because their ex committee make that decision . The biggest problem on both sides is who do you replace them with.

We have a long way to catch up.

UK has now given 53 million vaccinations.

Yes...the EU should have never provided the UK with millions of vaccines, while the UK did not provide any UK country with any vaccine. What a disgrace...
