PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean Castex
told BFM TV on Wednesday that European regulators should soon
approve a COVID-19 vaccine for the European Union, and that the
approval could be obtained later this month.
Castex's comments came as Britain on Wednesday became the
first country in the world to approve the Pfizer-BioNTech
COVID-19 vaccine for use and said it would be rolled out from
early next week.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that France
should be in a position to embark on a broader COVID-19
vaccination campaign between April and June next year, after
initially targeting a smaller group of people.
