“There is reason to be optimistic that a vaccine will be approved in Europe this year. Then we can start immediately with the vaccinations, ”said the politician to the editorial network Germany. He asked the federal states that the vaccination centers should be ready for use in mid-December. That seems to work.
The Minister of Health was also optimistic that it would not take until the end of 2021 for all population groups to be vaccinated. So you don’t need deep cooling for many of the likely vaccines. They could be given in normal doctor’s offices. “And then it goes quickly: Let’s not forget that in a few weeks up to 20 million people are vaccinated against flu every year,” said Spahn.
The politician announced the establishment of an online platform on the vaccination rates achieved, differentiated by age and region. “Especially when we have achieved a high vaccination rate among the particularly vulnerable population groups, we will be able to gradually relax the restrictions.”
According to Spahn, the federal government has now secured more than 300 million vaccine doses for Germany through the EU Commission or bilateral agreements and options. “Even with two doses per vaccination, we would have enough for our own population and could share it with other countries.” The minister announced that Germany would also secure vaccination doses from the Dessau vaccine manufacturer IDT.
