For months, the Federal Ministry of Health only responded evasively to questions about a digital corona vaccination card, but now it suddenly has to go very quickly: On Wednesday, Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) wrote to various German companies via an emergency award procedure.

A deadline of Wednesday to Monday for a public tender for such a relevant and multi-million dollar project is highly unusual. Apparently the Ministry of Health already knew since mid-November that the development of a forgery-proof vaccination certificate would be necessary.
