Shortly before the nationwide start of the corona vaccinations on Sunday, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder warned of the negative consequences of delivery bottlenecks.

"Endless waiting also reduces the willingness of the population to be vaccinated," said the CSU boss.

“Unfortunately there cannot be a quick all-clear.

Because there is simply too little vaccine.

The orders from the federal government are sufficient, but production takes time.

It is therefore important to increase all capacities for the production of the vaccine. "

Söder emphasized that he did not expect any major problems otherwise.

“The vaccination logistics are in place, all you need is the vaccine.

The federal government supplies the federal states and then everything is inoculated. ”Ultimately, all epidemics could only have been effectively combated by vaccinations.

“To do this, we have to significantly increase people's willingness to vaccinate.

Because there will be no compulsory vaccination. "

Germany should receive 151,125 cans from the Mainz company Biontech in a first delivery for the vaccination start on Sunday.

They were distributed nationwide on Saturday.

According to Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), at least another 670,000 doses will come every week in January.

In Bavaria, only 9,750 vaccine doses fall from the start, so that the protection is effective, you have to be vaccinated twice.

Delivery of 214,500 cans is planned by the end of the year.

From the end of December, the Free State will then receive regular deliveries, according to reports, around 100,000 per week.

"The more you vaccinate and the more you can get vaccinated, the faster we can reduce the great horror of Corona," said Söder.

He himself associates a lot of hope with the vaccine: “With it we can first of all protect the risk groups.

In the long run then the whole population.

Vaccination is an important step towards everyday freedom. "
