Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) has expressed criticism of the German corona policy.

He told the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the vaccination campaign had started “not optimally”.

"There was too little vaccine and at the same time high expectations," said Spahn.

The CDU politician named the European ordering process as the reason, which was sometimes not fast enough.

In addition, the minister admitted errors in communication, "we have not explained enough how difficult it would be to get started," said Sphan.

The structure is also to blame: The public procurement law for orders in Europe is "too strongly influenced by security and routines," said Spahn.

“This makes us slower than necessary.

But we are much better than some portray it. "
