    : The

    vaccination start

    against the insidious

    vaccinations against Covid-19

    .

    making

    an ambitious promise: all residents of

    German nursing homes should be

    vaccinated by the

    end of January

    .

Munich / Berlin -

Jens Spahn

had to face the headwind.

Figuratively speaking.

In the

Corona lockdown in Germany,

one question currently

dominates

: Why was the start of vaccinations against

Covid-19

so slow and bumpy?

FDP

Vice-Vice President

Wolfgang Kubicki

spoke

of a

“catastrophe vaccination start”

on

Focus Online

.

From today's perspective it would have been better to order “more and different vaccines” at risk, said Green health expert Kordula Schulz-Asche of the

Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: criticism of Jens Spahn after a difficult vaccination start

The facts?

A

total of

238,809 vaccinations were

sent to

the

Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

by Sunday morning, January 3rd, despite delivery difficulties and other problems

.

The criticism of

Spahn

does not stop.

The

Federal

Minister of

Health has

now countered this - and made a spectacularly ambitious promise.

Namely:

Spahn

promised that all residents of

German nursing homes will be

vaccinated by the

end of January

.

“We can achieve this goal in January.

And we want to and will achieve that with the countries, ”he said at

RTL Aktuell

over the weekend

.

The minister, who is considered a confidante of

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU)

, also tried repeatedly to rebut the latest allegations that he

really

missed the

start of

the

corona vaccination

.

There

had been corresponding criticism

from the

SPD

,

among others

Corona vaccinations in Germany: Jens Spahn defends his work in the Covid-19 pandemic

"We have ordered enough

vaccine for Germany

and the EU," said

CDU

politician

Spahn of

the

Rheinische Post

(Monday edition).

The problem is the low production capacity at the beginning with extremely high demand worldwide.

“It was known that it would be tight at the beginning and that we had to prioritize,” said 

Spahn

- and received support from the institutions of the European Union (EU), which was also severely criticized.

"The bottleneck is currently not the number of orders, but the global bottleneck in production capacities," said Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides of the

German Press Agency

.

"This also applies to

Biontech
