Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The Hamburg health authority is only hoping for a significant improvement in the vaccination rate through the approval of the Moderna vaccine in February.
In January, only a few thousand vaccine doses are expected in Hamburg, official spokesman Martin Helfrich told the German press agency on Friday.
"Substantial deliveries are probably only expected in February."
The federal states are to receive the first delivery of the preparation on Tuesday of the coming weeks, as a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health announced on Friday in response to a dpa request in Berlin.
The EU Commission approved the Moderna vaccine on Wednesday on the recommendation of the EMA drug authority.
According to the information available to the dpa, the US manufacturer plans to deliver a good 154,000 vaccine doses to Germany in two tranches by the end of January. According to this, there are 3600 cans in Hamburg. The delivery of more than 901,000 cans to Germany is planned for February, of which Hamburg is planned to receive 19,200 cans.
