Pfizer and BioNTech said on Monday they are ready to immediately ship initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, branded in the European Union as Comirnaty, to the 27 EU member states.

Vaccine doses for Europe will be produced in BioNTech's manufacturing sites in Germany, and Pfizer's manufacturing site in Puurs, Belgium, the companies said.

“We are absolutely excited and thrilled that we got the approval from the EMA (European Medicines Agency),” Ugur Sahin, Chief Executive of BioNTech said Tuesday. “It was hard work of the teams at Pfizer and at BioNTech.”

Preparations for the vaccine roll-out come as the identification of a highly infectious new strain of the coronavirus in Britain caused chaos across the region, with countries shutting off travel ties with the United Kingdom and disrupting trade ahead of the Christmas holiday.

EU countries including Germany, France, Austria and Italy have said they plan to start vaccinations from Dec. 27 as Europe catches up with the United States and Britain, where inoculations began earlier this month.
