The fact that Impfpraxis Frankfurt now also has the very latest vaccine from Biontech on offer has apparently spread like wildfire.

"Someone shared this on Twitter," says Saqib Cheema, who runs the mobile vaccination center in the Westend.

From the low point of inactivity a few weeks ago, when only twelve people picked up a syringe in one day, the team is a long way away on Monday evening.
