70 percent of adults vaccinated with one dose, EU says
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday that 70 percent of adults in the European Union have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
"Our target was to protect 70 percent of adults in the European Union with at least one vaccination in July," Von der Leyen said in a statement.
"Today we have achieved this target. And 57 percent of adults already have the full protection of double vaccination," she added.
The accomplishment comes after von der Leyen announced earlier in July that enough vaccine doses had been delivered to the EU to allow 70 percent of adults to be fully vaccinated.

“The Lockdown Generation”: U.S. children facing mass shootings and the effect on their mental health The tragedy that overwhelmed the community of Uvalde happens often in the U.S. The millions of American children now taught to prepare for shootings are being called the “lockdown generation.” More than 95 percent of public schools practice these lockdown drills; some began in the wake of Columbine 23 years ago. But, a recent study showed lockdown drills led to increased rates of depression, stress, and anxiety for students of all ages.

Uvalde elementary schoolers kept calling 911 for help as police were instructed to not engage Anger grows among the Uvalde community over how school police handled the response during the gunman’s horrific acts inside Robb elementary. Sources say federal agents waited 30 minutes before overruling School District Police Chief Peter Arredondo’s guidance to not engage with the gunman and opened the classroom using a janitor’s key to kill the gunman. During that 47-minute window between authorities entering the classroom, authorities say 911 calls from students kept coming in.

Countries in the European Union and around the world have been getting hit with the delta variant of the coronavirus, causing some countries to mandate vaccines for some.
France has been facing growing protests after health care workers were mandated to get the vaccine and COVID-19 passes were mandated for citizens to go to restaurants.
Greece has also seen protests as vaccinations were required for health care workers.
Von der Leyen said the vaccination numbers are good, but the EU needs to keep pushing the vaccine as the delta variant hits the region.
"The delta variant is very dangerous. I therefore call on everyone who has the opportunity to be vaccinated. For their own health and to protect others," she said.
