In Germany, which has entered a total blockade since last week, the spread of Corona 19 has soared to an all-time high, showing a terrifying momentum.
To show the unity of the EU, 27 member states including Germany, France and Switzerland plan to start vaccination at the same time starting on the 27th.

The 22nd local time, 19,000 new corona19 confirmed a day, and 731 deaths a day.
This is quite different from the German government’s goal to reduce the number of new cases to 50 or less per 100,000 people per week.
The number of deaths from 380 in the middle of last October has soared to the 3,000 level in the second week of this month.

As the proliferation trend has not subsided despite strong containment measures, the German government is rushing to prepare for the upcoming vaccination.
The German government plans to inoculate 1.3 million doses of vaccine nationwide by the end of the year, starting with vaccination at nursing homes.
Then, starting next month, at least 670,000 vaccinations per week will be completed, and 4 million vaccinations will be completed by the end of January.
Other countries in the European Union EU are likely to begin vaccination at a similar time.
To show unity, the EU Commission hopes that 27 member states, including France and Switzerland, will start vaccinating at the same time on the 27th.

The EU is said to have ordered an additional 100 million doses of vaccines in addition to 200 million doses of vaccines that have already been contracted with BioEntech.
