Corona: Jens Spahn expects intense debates about vaccination refusals
He was unable to make it clear to the population how difficult winter would be.
"I should have managed expectations more," said the health minister.
Almost at the same time, a new study on the AstraZeneca vaccine caused a bang.
Spahn was also confident that the
vaccinations would progress
“step by step”.
Nevertheless, “it is not certain that

"When people say they don't want to be vaccinated, they can't expect everyone around them to continue wearing protective masks," said
Spahn
