Germany - Health Minister: "At the end of winter almost every German will be vaccinated, cured or dead"
German Health Minister Jens Spann warned that the risk of infection with the Delta mutation was enormous and assured that there was an adequacy of vaccines.
"Probably at the end of this winter - that sounds cynical - almost every German will be vaccinated , cured or dead. But so be it. "Immunity is always achieved, the question is whether it happens through vaccination or infection," said Health Minister Jens Spann recently, warning that the risk of infecting someone who has not been vaccinated, especially with the "Delta" variant , is enormous.
However, he assured that there is enough vaccines and apologized for the confusion caused by the news that Moderna vaccines are being promoted for the booster dose , because they are approaching their expiration date.
According to Mr. Span, in recent days the demand for vaccination has increased significantly, but he stressed that he does not believe that a mandatory vaccination would help at this time. "Keeping a distance and limiting contact at the moment is helping," he said, describing the Covid-19 vaccination as a "moral obligation of solidarity".
Regarding the problem that has arisen around whether the boost dose can be done with the formulation of BioNTech / Pfizer or should be done with that of Moderna, which expires in mid-February, Jens Span stressed that "we do not keep no vaccine ", while assuring that the two vaccines are almost identical. "Some doctors even say that BioNTech vaccine is the Mercedes vaccine against Covid-19 and Moderna vaccine is Rolls Royce," he added.
However, according to the newspaper BILD, BioNTech is preparing to deliver an additional 10 million installments in Germany.
