According to a survey, the majority of Germans would be vaccinated with the Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V, provided it is approved by the EU Medicines Agency (EMA).
55 percent of those surveyed are open to vaccination with the vaccine, according to a Yougov survey published on Thursday for the "Handelsblatt".
19 percent of the respondents therefore reject a vaccination with Sputnik V.
14 percent of those questioned are still undecided whether they would also be vaccinated with it if the Russian vaccine was approved in Europe.
Twelve percent of the participants stated that they generally did not want to be vaccinated.
For the survey, which is said to be representative, the polling company Yougov asked around 600 people online on Thursday.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to negotiate with Russia about a delivery of the Sputnik V vaccine without the involvement of the EU.
Germany will try to get the vaccine bilaterally after the EU Commission announced on Wednesday evening at consultations with EU health ministers that it would not conclude any contracts for deliveries from Russia, said Spahn in the WDR.
