German Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Saturday: "This really is a happy Christmas message. At this moment, lorries with the first vaccines are on the road all over Europe, all over Germany, in all federal states. Further deliveries will follow the day after tomorrow.
"This vaccine is the crucial key for defeating the pandemic. It's the key for us getting back our lives."
Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio urged his compatriots to get the jabs. "We'll get our freedom back, we'll be able to embrace again," he said.
Health workers in north-east Germany decided not to wait for Sunday and started immunizing elderly residents of a nursing home in Halberstadt.
In Hungary, the first recipient of the vaccine was a doctor at Del-Pest Central Hospital on Saturday, the state news agency says.
The authorities in Slovakia also said they had begun vaccinating.
