Germany, Hungary and Slovakia have stolen a march on their fellow European Union (EU) nations by starting to vaccinate people against coronavirus.
It came a day ahead of the official vaccine rollout in other EU countries, including France and Spain, as the pandemic surges across the continent.
Mass vaccinations for the bloc - home to almost 450 million people - would be a crucial step towards handling a pandemic that has killed more than 1.7 million around the world, crippled economies and destroyed businesses and jobs.
In Germany, a small number of residents of a retirement home were inoculated on Saturday (European-time), 24 hours before the country's official start of its campaign.
The first person to be vaccinated was Edith Kwoizalla, a 101-year-old resident at a nursing home in Halberstadt in the Harz hill range.
"It's here ... the good news at Christmas," said German Health Minister Jens Spahn.
