Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Baden-Württemberg does not want to secure doses of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V for itself like Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

There is a best practice, said Health Minister Manne Lucha (Greens), according to a spokesman on Thursday in Stuttgart.

The federal government and the EU took care of the procurement and approval of the vaccines, the federal states were responsible for the vaccination.

“I don't see any reason to change anything,” says Lucha.

With regard to the procurement of vaccines, the minister described it as correct, "that the federal government and Minister Spahn have now announced bilateral talks with Russia."

Both Bavaria and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania had previously announced that they wanted to secure access to the Russian corona vaccine Sputnik V before possible EU approval.

According to State Health Minister Harry Glawe (CDU) on Thursday, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania secured an option for one million of these vaccine doses.

Bavaria has signed a letter of intent for the production and import of 2.5 million vaccine doses.
