Early 2021 will see a first vaccination drive targeted at the most fragile and exposed groups, followed by a second campaign for the rest of the population, President Emmanuel Macron told a press briefing at the Elysée Palace in Paris.

Macron said the likely limited availability of vaccines by the end of December or early January meant mass vaccinations would have to wait.
