In mid-March, the government of India Prime Minister Narendra Modi stopped the delivery of five million vaccine doses intended for Great Britain. At that time, a second wave of infections was already emerging in India, which has now fully gripped the country. As a result, the British vaccination program, which had been rapid to date, suffered a noticeable setback. It is to be feared that the Indian export ban could be repeated in view of the infection situation there, possibly with consequences for Germany.
