European countries today (Thursday) expanded their booster vaccination campaigns, began planning to vaccinate children and tightened restrictions, as part of an effort to stem the current wave threatening to disrupt the continent's economy ahead of Christmas.
Slovakia, which has the highest rate of infection in the world relative to its population, has declared a two-week closure, and its Czech neighbor will go into a 30-day state of emergency, during which bars and clubs will close early and no Christmas markets will take place.
In Germany, the death toll from the virus has reached a dismal level, with more than 100,000 victims since the outbreak.

Europe is at the center of the current global outbreak. Every two days it registers a million new infections, and in total close to two-thirds of the new cases in the world are diagnosed on the continent. The European Commission today recommended that EU residents be required to be vaccinated on impulse if they want to travel to another country in the bloc over the coming summer, without the need for tests or isolation.
In France, authorities have announced that booster injections will be available to anyone aged 18 and over. So far, the third dose has only been given to those aged 65 and over and to groups at risk. The Center for Disease Prevention and Control in Europe on Wednesday recommended giving a booster vaccine to all adults, especially those aged 40 and over.
The World Health Organization opposes that countries begin vaccinating their citizens for the third time, before many places in the world have not yet completed the provision of the first two doses. In Africa, only 6.6% of the continent's 1.2 million people are fully vaccinated. Many countries have difficulty with the logistics of administering the vaccines that have begun to arrive after prolonged delays.
