the european medicines agency is expected to make a decision on this only tomorrow. another question on the table is that the germany's main expert panel on vaccinations has expressed caution because a lot of scientists say, due to lack of long term data. and they would recommend maybe 1st only vaccinating those young people with risk factors because their benefits are very clear that they still want to wait for more data from countries that have already started vaccinating the young population like the u. s. and the 3rd question that's on the table for logistics. the present tense for today at the press briefing, said again that she believes germany will be able to offer shot to anybody who's willing to, to take one by the end of the summer. this will now then include 12 to 16 year old and but the question is, where will those children we vaccinated? the regions still have to come up with a plan of how and, and where to do that. and so they are a lot of questions still in the air. right. so is there pressure to vaccinate teenagers and children in germany was coming

on friday, the european medicines agency is expected to greenlight the biotech site their job for 12 to 15 year olds. us authorities recently authorized le shop for children, age 12 and up. but germany's vaccination commission is wary. it warns there's not enough data on potential side effects. and when we get findings from other countries and can say with a fair degree of certainty that nothing happened. fine. but we can't go ahead as long as we don't know what happens and don't have the data. i question the necessity to push the through. but many doctors officers say they're getting increasing calls from parents who want to know when their children can be vaccinated. we really want to be able to offer appointments to youngsters, especially those with chronic diseases and abort marker. and since children seem to either show no symptoms when infected or only mild symptoms, some question the logic of giving young people to vaccine right away. jeremy still doesn't have enough jobs for everyone who wants one when you get to the, to the physical. if we now have to start reserving vaccine

suggesting is that anybody who's been fully vaccinated with a job that's approved by both the european medicines agency and the world health organization they should be allowed to come into the e.u. until the digital green certificate is operational member states should be able to accept it if it is from noni you can cheat based on national or take into account the ability to verify the authenticity validity and integrity of this it if it and whether it contains all relevant data well since it was announced it's raised an awful lot of questions with some critics pointing out the well some of the points are pretty vague particularly when it comes to the fact that we don't know how long somebody who's been vaccinated is amusing to the covert virus for we just simply haven't had up about the data on that right now there's also the risks of creating a 2 tier society between those that have had the vaccine those that are waiting for the vaccine and those that for any number of medical reasons can't have those particular vaccines now there's also the world health organization chipping in on this saying they

mean for those who have been vaccinated with jobs that haven't already been approved by the european medicines agency the russian sputnik vaccine for example we are expecting sputnik to get e.m.e.a. approval sometime in may but what does that mean for those that have already received that also what does that mean for the millions and millions of doses of sputnik that have been purchased by e.u. member states ready for use now the european commission doesn't have the power to be able to tell a member state who can come in and who can't come in to their country what they're looking to try and do at the moment is get a unified to agreement throughout the $27.00 and they certainly isn't one of those just get so until there is it does seem like each individual e.u. member state will continue to have their their own systems in place for example right now if you wanted to fly into greece it wouldn't have to be fully vaccinated but as long as you could provide say a test result that showed that you hadn't tested positive for covert then you'd be allowed to arrive still a lot of legs to run on whether we'll g
