After a breakdown at the start of the vaccination in Upper Franconia, vaccination against Corona is now also to be carried out there.

The manufacturing company had confirmed the quality of the vaccination doses and released the doses, the government of Upper Franconia announced on Monday night.

“Nothing stands in the way of the vaccination start in Upper Franconia.

The vaccinations can begin. "

When the vaccination was actually started on Sunday, there were problems with the cold chain in Upper Franconia and Swabia - the vaccine from manufacturers Biontech and Pfizer has to be frozen at extreme temperatures of around minus 70 degrees.

While the problems in Swabia soon turned out to be marginal and vaccination began, it was initially unclear in Upper Franconia when the largest vaccination campaign in the history of the Federal Republic could also start there.

Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) was satisfied with the nationwide start of vaccinations.

“That was a good start,” said Spahn in the ZDF “Morgenmagazin”.

The minister also turned against criticism in connection with the start of the vaccination: He was impressed with how the Germans managed to “spoil this joy”.

If people want their lives back, this vaccination is needed.
