Düsseldorf (dpa) - Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) has called for more efforts in the corona vaccination and test campaign in Germany.

The available vaccine must also be used everywhere, said the Vice Chancellor and SPD candidate for chancellor on Saturday at the digital party conference of the NRW-SPD.

Vaccination must be organized so well everywhere that the vaccine doses, which are now coming in large quantities, are actually used.

Scholz's speech, recorded in advance, was imported into the program.

Scholz admitted initial errors in the procurement of corona vaccines.

Now, however, "all efforts should be concentrated on procuring as much vaccine as possible".

According to Scholz, the rapid and self-tests that will be available in the future give hope.

"We are now making sure that we find new possibilities for opening strategies by testing."

This gives people hope that they will be able to get out of the lockdown, "that we can sit on a beer bench again in summer, that we can watch football when the next season begins".
