Some German cities, particularly in Bavaria, have delayed or canceled the administration of the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The doubts about the conservation of the vials regarding the respect of the ‘cold chain’ influenced the procedures in the v-day. In particular, the process stopped in the Lichtenfels district, as reported by local media.

In the cities of Coburg, Kronach, Kulmbach, Hof, Bayreuth and Wunsiedel, the initial programs were also modified. In the district of Dillingen, reports the local newspaper Merkur.de, all postponed until tomorrow. Some administrations are likely waiting for clarification from Biontech, the company that developed the vaccine with Pfizer. The situation was resolved during the day in the Swabian district, with a substantial green light for vaccines. Another enigma, late in the afternoon, the image in Upper Franconia.

Germany has had more than 150,000 doses of the vaccine available today. Berlin, like each of the 16 Laenders, received 9,750 doses to start the campaign.
