  • Digital 'green certificate' will show if an EU citizen or family member has been either vaccinated, tested, or recovered from COVID-19
  • The certificate will be accepted by all EU countries, help to reinstate travel freedom
  • Pfizer, Moderna has delivered on vaccine contracts
  • AstraZeneca has underproduced, underdelivered on commitments
  • Live speech
