The outgoing German chancellor, Angela Merkel, expressed her desire to speed up the pace of the booster doses of anti-Coronavirus vaccination.This came during the consultations that the chancellor started today, Thursday, with state heads of government to discuss how to move forward in the fight against the crisis, according to information obtained by the German news agency (D). PA a) participants in the consultations.
These sources stated that Merkel has set a goal to provide 27 million booster doses soon.
There is still controversy as to whether this number will be specifically stated in the conference decision paper, given the available quantities of vaccines.
The draft resolution stipulates that giving the first and second dose to the unvaccinated so far is critical in order to overcome the pandemic, but the booster doses also play an important role for the vaccinated, and “millions of booster doses must be available in Germany within a short period.”
The video conference of state heads of government was held under the chairmanship of Fust, in which Merkel and her potential successor Olaf Scholz participated, along with ministers in the federal government that is currently in charge of business.
