Abstract

The greatest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century, triggered by the pandemic emergence and spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus, has caused all European Union States to identify and apply rapid solutions to limit and stop this humanitarian disaster. The ways approached by each Member State in achieving this desideratum were different depending on the potential of assistance and endowment of the hospitals but also on the legal and legislative measures applied. The different percentages of the level of vaccination of the population that vary from state to state show how important is the unitary approach of information measures, strategic organization but also the convergent legislative correlation at the European Union level in stopping this scourge. The percentage of vaccination has proved to be closely linked to saving lives, a conclusion which leads to the need to address a convergent strategy across EU Member States on the measures needed to achieve the highest possible percentage of vaccination at the level of all EU Member States to stop this virus and return to normality.

Highlights

With the establishment of an inclusive alliance by France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands to create a viable and effective type of coronavirus vaccine, the EU strategy to stop the SARS-CoV 19 Coronavirus pandemic can be achieved through a common approach, following the objectives: ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of vaccines; ensuring rapid access to vaccines for the Member States and their citizens, while at the same time being the spearhead of global solidarity; ensuring equitable access to an affordable vaccine as soon as possible (European Commission, 17 June 2020)
The introduction of the mandatory COVID-19 health certificate for access to bars, restaurants, cinemas, stadiums, many commercial spaces, or long-distance transport has been a measure with huge potential in training the population to immunize by vaccination
