gearing up for the rollout of the coronavirus vaccine authorities have defined which groups will be the 1st to receive the jab priority will be given to residents of senior care homes people over 80 and medical personnel with a higher risk of exposure those aged between 75 and 79 and exposed medical staff such as general practitioners will follow health minister ban called for patients from those who will have to wait for their dose of the vaccine i call on all of us to do of the situation sensibly when germany states begin vaccinate think most likely on december 27th at 1st the supply will be limited and it will be clearly defined who has the priority therefore i ask all their citizens to be patient i ask you to wait until it's your turn. and. there is light at the end of the tunnel germany is building numerous vaccination centers

across the country ahead of the vaccine rollout but span warned it will take one to 2 months before the most at risk groups will be vaccinated it will take time for doses to be widely available that means many measures to contain the pandemic will have to stay in place gentleman's class we have to realize that it will be quite a while before the vaccine has any effect on the pandemic quite simply because we don't have enough for everyone who wants to be vaccinated therefore we will still need other measures to contain the pandemic. a pandemic that is still in full swing in germany the country recorded the highest number of new daily cases on friday and daily deaths are also at record levels high time for a smooth and fast rule out of the vaccine. well let's bring in political correspondent son and young son and it's a critical moment how ready is germany for this vaccine rollout well i think

germany has done a lot of preparations anthony of course this vaccine comes at a really critical time for germany because infections have surged in recent weeks and of been hitting records in the last few days with over 30000 new cases and deaths are also up so this is this is a much needed sort of glimmer of hope at christmas time the expectation now is that the europeans medicines agency will approve the biotech pfizer vaccine at the beginning of next week it will then be delivered to germany and germany's medicines agency can check the doses to see that they are ok and meet the standards and after that it will be distributed to $400.00 vaccination centers around the country and vaccinations can start we believe on the 27th of december and there's been

a full debate as well about the prioritization with the over a t's and people in care homes and also care workers getting the vaccine 1st and it's estimated it's going to take a couple of months to give the vaccine to all of that group some of the right is the glimmer of hope do we know how long it will take to vaccinate enough people to return to even a semblance of normality here. well the government says that in order to get herd immunity in other words to have have enough people vaccinated that we can stop worrying will begin to start worrying about covert 19 that will require 60 to 70 percent of the population to be vaccinated how quickly can that happen rather depends on how much vaccine is available we don't know that at the moment 11000000 doses to start with but much more will be needed to vaccinate germany a country of nearly $90000000.00 people so what the government is saying

it'll probably be at least the summer before they can roll out vaccinations to all people in germany so it looks like we can have to wait several months without him on the situation in german hospitals is increasingly dial why is the government then allowing a slight easing of rules of a christmas just quickly. well i think it's because of course they made the promises that there would be something like a christmas celebration possible and it's very difficult for politicians of course to tell people they can't have family gatherings at christmas and they wanted those gatherings to happen inside the rules so they've slightly loosened them but there is concern that of course there will be a spike in infections off to christmas some young political correspondent thank you very much well meanwhile the u.s. has moved closer to a perving a 2nd covenanting vaccine after an independent panel of experts endorsed the shot
