FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Germany aims to be able to vaccinate everyone seeking a COVID-19 inoculation in the country by summer, Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Wednesday.

“If the five to six manufacturers that we have contracts with manage to stay broadly on schedule … we will be able – based on what we know today – to offer a vaccine in the summer to all those who want,” Spahn said in a webcast interview with online news platform Jung & Naiv.
