high risk. the hall we expect the people in the high priority group will be vaccinated by the end of may. that means that depending on how many vaccine doses we get we can abandon the priority list as of june at the latest. this is not mean that everyone can be vaccinated immediately but that everyone can make an appointment. after a slow start during the 1st few months of the year now around 23 percent of germany's population has received the 1st dose that's thanks to an increase in the liveries more reliable supply chains and family doctors now also administering the shot. with more and more people vaccinated the debate on whether they should enjoy more freedom from restrictions is also mounting chancellor merkel said the government is preparing legislation to ease some measures those who have been fully

vaccinated or those who have recovered from colvin 1000 should be exempted from having to get tests to go to non-essential shops or from quarantining after returning from abroad they would still however have to continue following mask and social distancing rules. and i think that's unfair a more nuanced solution must be found. it is absolutely clear to me that people who have been vaccinated must get their basic rights back it's not a question of whether they get special rights but that they can live normally again . i think it's good but it's a pity that it's not my turn yet but her. turn may not be far off chance of america's promise to offer every adult in germany a vaccine by the end of the summer seemed impossible to many only a few weeks ago now hopes are high that her pledge will be met. and for more on this i'm joined by news and shelf and also good morning to you and yet so why has
11:12 am
a chance and i'm going to medical and the leaders of germany is 16 states not been able to agree on what freedoms vaccinated people could have well christin in the last few months of this pandemic we've seen lots of these meetings between the chancellor and the state leaders that have dragged on long into the night where there's been lots of controversy debate it's been incredibly hard to find consensus and it was almost like this time around they decided this was going to be a meeting with some good news and they put the difficult decisions off and it was clear from the start that the most difficult decision of this that was on the agenda at this meeting was the really really instituting basic rights for those who've been vaccinated. and it seems that decision has just been pushed further down the road really. also bear in mind that here in germany a national lockdown or only just came into effect on saturday infection rates are
11:13 am
still inching up at the moment. and of course if you look at the figures we just saw that they're only just over 7 percent of people have actually been fully vaccinated. so it does seem still pretty early to be making those decisions about what rights they should be getting back right but this is happening as we exit saying that this vaccination drive is kicking into gear once the growing amount of vaccinated people now increase the pressure for them to be granted more freedoms. well yes and no really of course as more and more people are vaccinated there's more demand for then to get their rights back and the economy needs of badly too of course. but it also makes it easier in a way of course you have more people vaccinated you have more support for the you know for giving them their rights back and it also there's an argument that it might persuade those who've been reluctant to get vaccinated and to get finally get their job but also this could all be a very short discussion in
11:14 am
a way because if the vaccination drive really does go ahead as quickly as medical has now promised and everyone can you know apply to get a vaccine come june then we may have reached herd immunity as soon as anything and may all be able to lead normal lives again that's on your shelf not reporting for us thank you and you. some football news now $60000000.00 or joined by munich on a 5 year contract next season he will replace current coach on sci fi flick but the 33 year old now this month could come with a hefty price tag according to reports it could cost the defending $1.00 to sneak a champions around $38000000.00 here that would be a new record feat for germany coach made history last season by taking life city all the way to the champions league semifinals. and you watching the news here's a reminder off our top story emergency medical supplies have begun arriving in
