- According to Eurostat, excess mortality was elevated from April 2020 through December 2022 and peaked in November 2020, while the first vaccine was not authorized until late December 2020 and public vaccination campaigns began in 2021.
- The EMA reports that around one billion Covid-19 vaccine doses were administered between January 2021 and December 2023, while a WHO/Europe study finds that vaccination reduced pandemic-related mortality in the WHO European Region by at least 57 percent and attributes more than 1.4 million lives saved to it.
- Deaths were reported after vaccination in 12,000 cases, or 0.0012 percent, but the EMA emphasizes that such reports do not establish that the vaccines caused the deaths.
- EuroMOMO says overall mortality in Europe had returned to expected levels by spring 2023, while Eurostat recorded EU excess mortality of minus 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2026 and minus 4.8 percent in March 2026.
