Coronavirus: Germany drops COVID vaccination priority from June 7
Anyone above the age of 16 will soon be eligible to receive a vaccine in Germany. Nevertheless, the health minister said it would take some time to give everyone a shot.
More than 40 million vaccines have been administered across Germany so far
Germany will remove the priority limits on who can receive a coronavirus vaccine from June 7, Health Minister Jens Spahn announced on Monday.
Until now, only people listed as priority groups were eligible to receive most vaccines. Priorities were ranked by age, medical conditions and profession. However, from June 7 onwards, the entire population from aged 16 up will be eligible for vaccines.
