The impact of the vaccine in terms of confidence is undeniable. Spain holds one of the world largest vaccination rates registering over 78.9% of its population with two doses of the vaccine.
As a result, EUSA University Centre received 183 students this semester that started classes on Monday 20th under the Study Abroad, Erasmus+ and other formats. Unfortunately, the regions of Asia and North America are still finding difficulties to fly to Europe due to covid-19 restrictions.
