Berlin / Munich (dpa) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to hold on to the use of Astrazeneca's corona vaccine even without official approval.
"I would not throw it away either, even if it is not allowed," said the CSU boss on Thursday after the digital country conference in Munich.
Even without approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), it must be checked whether vaccinations would then be possible “at your own risk”.
Söder emphasized that he was very worried about how much Astrazeneca would still be wanted in the event of a readmission.
Even before the suspension this week there was a lot of skepticism about the vaccine.
Should the EMA allow Astrazeneca again, he is therefore in any case for the greatest possible flexibility.
The vaccine could then be administered quickly via the family doctor and with the necessary individual advice and follow-up care.
