in an initial batch of no more than 10000 doses each member state is prioritizing who gets. supplies are expected in the new year but officials warn of us a long way to go before everyone can be vaccinated. here in germany were infections and numbers of covert 1000 deaths every record highs in recent weeks one care home decided it didn't want to waste any time after taking delivery of the vaccine a 101 year old woman in the state of saxony on her it was the 1st to get the shot in germany a day earlier than scheduled those in the highest priority group include people over 80 as well as residents and staff of care homes. let's get more of on this vaccination rollout with dr. from berlin he's the deputy director of the institute of allergy at shari today welcome to the program 1st of all what do you make of the vaccination plan which is starting with the oldest in

the population and their caregivers it makes total sense to me because those people most at the highest risk of suffering from severe $92.00 needed. those over 8 years and also this test is going to be vaccinated to care for those people so it makes sense to me. now as my as i understand it the vaccine looks to be very effective protecting the person vaccinated it's still to be seen how well it works in terms of preventing the spread so how and when will we know just what role the vaccine is playing in in limiting and shrinking the pandemic. it to play a very important role that is for sure and every person that is vaccinated counts but we still don't know at the moment whether we can reach the so-called stare at

immunity with those vaccines available now that means we don't know whether those people that are vaccinated are unable to pass on the bars to other people that would be very important but we may know that maybe. next year. should still obey to the rules that. telling us to keep distance to a for people to wear masks and. to be aware of. that isn't very important point that has to be made at this time also and based on what you're seeing at your institue when it comes to this virus what can we expect to see in the new year. so it takes some time that. considerable percentage of the population is vaccinated so we have let's

say. this is the end of march and in august maybe next year we will have. this for everybody so it will take some time that defects in nation program has some impact on the virus spread that is an important point so we might suffer from a race in the next year and still everybody is still half to as i mentioned before to keep a keyboard to obey to the rules that mean social distancing is still very important and very important also to we must to prevent the virus from spreading and we had also to keep an eye. that we have observed in the last weeks. keeping our masks on our fingers crossed that our thumbs pressed dr carter.

thank you very much. you're welcome. let's turn to look at some of the other stories making headlines right now hundreds of british tourists have fled coronavirus quarantine in the swiss ski resort of fear fear they were fake vacationing there when the government demanded that they self isolate following the discovery of a new variant of the virus in the united kingdom with no flights between switzerland and the u.k. it's not clear where those vacationers went. japan is effectively closing its borders for at least a month in an effort to contain the new coronavirus variant originally detected in the u.k. the foreign ministry says it will bar all nonresident foreign nationals starting monday japanese residents will be allowed to return home. 10 people are dead in iran after avalanches hit

winter conditions and was going to be unsuitable for the winter it was an al security source about european union who is funding your racial account that's the funding would be in that but the 13th of november and we didn't inform the authorities that the camp would have to be closed to reason why we will be yet to draw was because the conditions were not longer safe if i were him and his partners run a camp we are essentially guaranteeing migrants that have a safe stay wheat access to any difference he says in that location we could no longer guaranteed and we postponed the deadline for closing a number of this because we were working and hoping that it would be a last minute political deal to find at least a temporary solution for the migrants. when that failed to materialize we announced to the migrants the night before that the day after we had been kept informed of course the whole time of what's in the dossier negotiate since where
