Germany dares to do it alone
In a global comparison, the EU – and therefore also Austria – is clearly lagging behind. Germany, which considers this situation to be unreasonable, has therefore dared to go it alone and has asked BioNTech on its own. Our neighbor will receive an additional 30 million cans as soon as the EU quotas are exhausted.
A possibility that Austria would also have, even through the EU.
“If the EU takes another option and orders another 100 million doses of vaccines, another two million doses of vaccine will be added. Then Austria will have the option of receiving a total of up to 5.5 million doses of vaccine in 2021.” Pfizer said. Austria’s boss Robin Rumler recently in an interview with KURIER (see video below).
As Clemens Martin Auer recently told KURIER, Austria does not want to go alone like Germany. “We have ordered enough vaccines.” BioNtech comes in around 3.5 million doses and Moderna in 1.6 million. The AstraZeneca vaccine, which is expected to be approved in February but is less effective than the other two vaccines, has contractually guaranteed about six million. In addition to Pfizer-Biontech, There are still options for another three million from the other two manufacturers, but the contracts have yet to be signed.
When asked if Germany was going alone, Auer said in Standard: “You are probably getting politics with the vaccine right now. In the current pandemic, hysteria arises quickly. That puts politicians in a difficult situation. As I said: the EU is acting as one here. “
