SH: Garg calls for a faster vaccination rate and criticizes the EU
Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister of Health Heiner Garg has urged a faster vaccination rate in Germany. The federal government should do “everything humanly possible” to make people a vaccination offer until the summer vacation, said the FDP politician of the “world”. “People’s patience is already overworked.” Garg accused Chancellor Angela Merkel and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (both CDU) of not having “exhausted all possibilities” to order sufficient vaccine for Europe last summer. Instead of leaving the vaccine order to the vaccine alliance with other European countries already forged by Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), the EU, led by von der Leyens and Merkels, took over the procedure. “If that hadn’t happened, we would probably be in a better position today,” the minister said.
