We can vaccinate most Germans in late summer, said Ugur Shahin, founder of Biontech, Reuters reported.

By late summer, the virus will be under control in most European countries, Shahin said, despite a difficult vaccination campaign.
In Germany, traders and those preparing for the summer holidays are increasingly dissatisfied with the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus. About 20,000 people protested yesterday in the town of Kassel against the restrictions imposed, recalls BTA. EU governments face criticism for the slow start of the vaccination campaign. Supply problems leave the bloc behind countries like Israel and the United States.
But Shahin said he was optimistic the problems would be temporary.
It is possible to ensure that 70 percent of Germans are vaccinated by the end of September, and then the virus will not be a significant problem, he stressed.
“In many European countries and in the United States, there will probably be no need for a lockdown by late summer,” said the Biontech founder.
According to him, then the appearance of new shoots will be insignificant.
There will be mutations, but they won’t scare us, he added.
Almost 9 percent of Germans had received at least one dose of the vaccine as of yesterday, Reuters notes.
