Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Hamburg's mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) has again criticized a lack of vaccine.
"It is a problem that we do not have enough vaccine," said Tschentscher in a recorded contribution to the online New Year reception of the "Hamburger Abendblatt" on Tuesday.
"We are prepared, we could do 7000 vaccinations a day in the vaccination center."
Due to the still scarce vaccine, however, initially only 500 appointments per day can be made at the vaccination center, which opened on Tuesday.
The deliveries, which are now announced for January, should actually have come in December, according to Tschentscher.
"Very little quantities of vaccine have simply been reserved, purchased and the delivery dates have not been met."
Therefore it is difficult to say when the people of the first priority level were vaccinated.
In addition, Hamburg received too little vaccine in view of its strong health system, criticized the head of government.
“Especially for the first stage, of course, we have many thousands more people who work in intensive care units, in emergency rooms or in Covid-19 wards.
And that's why it is now at the beginning that we want to start at all points at the same time, but cannot yet. "
