For Berlin there will be no further vaccine against the new coronavirus in the first week of the new year.
Health Senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) told the German Press Agency on Wednesday.
"We have now received the message from the Federal Ministry of Health that the delivery will be canceled in the first calendar week without replacement," said Kalayci.
It should not continue until January 11th.
"This is now causing us great difficulties, as we have made our plans based on these commitments," added the Senator.
Berlin should have received 29,250 more vaccine doses from January 4th.
“We would have needed that to be able to start with the over 80s.
Of course we can't do that now. ”Therefore, starting Wednesday, people over the age of 90 would be invited to the vaccinations by letter.
"I have a request to the federal government to organize the delivery a little more stably and quickly.
We can't prepare everything here and then get a brake like that, ”said Kalayci.
That was more than unfortunate.
"I'm pissed off.
The shortage of the vaccine remains a problem for the vaccination start in Germany, ”said Kalayci.
