“Prioritisation was and is a good guideline for doctors when only small supplies of vaccines are available,” Weigeldt told the Rheinische Post on Friday. He said there was no reason for vaccination centres to be favoured over family doctors’ surgeries, adding that the important thing was that people got vaccinated. By the end of April, family doctors’ surgeries should have more than three million doses of vaccine available each week, according to Germany’s health minister, Jens Spahn. He said the AstraZeneca vaccine could be used more quickly in older age groups. According to RKI data, cases stood at 131 per 100,000 residents on Saturday, compared with 125 a week earlier.
