The federal government expects at least 90 million vaccine doses from the manufacturer Biontech for Germany this year.

He expects that the previously agreed 60 million vaccine doses from the German part of EU contracts and 30 million from an additional bilateral agreement will be delivered this year, says a spokesman for the Ministry of Health.

The SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach warns of the virus mutation in Great Britain.

“Our situation is made even more difficult by a very dangerous mutation that continues to grow in England, even though they are locked down there.

That has to give us food for thought ”, says the politician in the podcast“ Die Wochenester ”of the“ Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger ”.

He therefore believes there is no alternative to the recently agreed lockdown extension: “We have to honestly say that our backs are against the wall.

Out of lockdown too early means a third wave. ”Lauterbach vehemently defends the criticized 15-kilometer radius rule:“ We don't want tourism in Germany. ”
