Londres. Argentina y Reino Unido se convirtieron este miércoles en los primeros países en dar luz verde a la vacuna de AstraZeneca, un fuerte impulso a la campaña de vacunación frente al aumento de casos de covid-19 que registran muchos países europeos.

La pandemia de coronavirus causó cerca de 1,8 millones de muertos en el mundo y más de 81 millones de contagios, según un recuento este miércoles de la AFP, mientras se teme que los viajes por las fiestas de fin de año aumenten la propagación de la enfermedad.
