Meanwhile, the German Medical Association is calling for more speed in vaccinating against the corona virus.
"It is unacceptable that more than five million vaccine doses are stored unused in Germany, while thousands of people are newly infected with corona every day," said Medical Association President Klaus Reinhardt to the editorial network Germany on Friday (April 23, 2021).
The goal must be to immunize as many people as possible against the virus, said Reinhardt.
“For this, the reserves held back in the vaccination centers for the second vaccination must be released as much as possible.
This is justifiable due to the expected delivery quantities in the second quarter. "
All other unused vaccine doses should be passed on to the doctor's office as soon as possible, demanded Reinhardt.
As a rule, no vaccines were left there, also because the vaccination ordinance gives doctors leeway in implementing the vaccination sequence.

Astrazeneca: Proof of confidence for the general practitioners
Reinhardt saw the fact that several federal states did not prioritize the vaccination of the Astrazeneca vaccine as a vote of confidence in the resident doctors.
"I very much hope that we can completely dispense with prioritization nationwide if, as announced, sufficient vaccines are available for all citizens from the end of May," said the medical president.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) announced on Thursday (April 22nd, 2021) that the prioritization of vaccinations against the corona virus * could be lifted in June.
In Saxony, Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin, Astrazeneca's vaccine was released for all age groups this week.
