The World Health Organization has warned that vaccination rates in Europe are still far from what is needed to stop a resurgence of the virus and called on countries to maintain protective measures
. "Vaccination coverage is far from sufficient to protect against a revival. The distance to go before reaching at least 80% coverage of the adult population is still considerable," said Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, urging nations to avoid repeating last summer's "mistake" when measures were eased prematurely.
