The Commission has bought the vaccines. Now it\u2019s countries\u2019 turn to get ready to use them.<\/p>\n

Back in June, the Commission unveiled its first vaccine strategy<\/a> to advance purchase possible coronavirus vaccines from companies. After months of sometimes controversial talks<\/a>, the Commission completed contracts with three producers<\/a> and is in the process of completing three others. (EU diplomats have told POLITICO<\/a> that the Commission is negotiating on a seventh.)<\/p>\n

Issued on Thursday, the Commission\u2019s latest communication seeks to harmonize countries\u2019 vaccination plans<\/a> once a jab is approved by regulators and ready to use. Above all, a vaccine should be made free for citizens and given first to key populations, including health workers and vulnerable groups, the Commission said.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s time for EU countries to get ready \u2014 and get on the same page \u2014 to roll out coronavirus vaccines.<\/p>\n

But harmonization hasn\u2019t been the EU\u2019s strong suit. Countries have improved from the early days of the pandemic, when they imposed export bans and fought over personal protective equipment. But they\u2019re still not deploying the same testing policies, quarantine rules, travel guidance or tracing apps. Most recently, countries couldn\u2019t agree to harmonized travel restrictions<\/a> after more than a month of negotiations.<\/p>\n

Rolling out a vaccine will be one of the next major tests of countries\u2019 willingness to coordinate. Each country could \u2014 in the end \u2014 choose to vaccinate different populations first or charge different prices. They also might have to grapple with different hurdles in vaccinating their citizens.<\/p>\n

During a press conference, Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides was optimistic about the \u201cunprecedented coordination\u201d between EU countries, but warned that time will tell if this holds throughout the winter months.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, as in every crisis, as a temporary time of extreme pressure, the situation on the ground is putting our coordination to the test,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For months, the Commission has tried to push countries along, but progress is mixed. Kyriakides noted there are still some EU countries that haven\u2019t told the Commission how they\u2019ve implemented the Commission\u2019s preparedness plan from July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnless we have this information, we are not able to follow and see how implementation is happening,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need to have the information [on] how this is moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Countries have been on board with advance purchasing the vaccines, but the Commission, in its paper, acknowledges that distributing them will be \u201ca considerable challenge requiring a Read More \u2013 Source<\/a>
