Berlin, Aug 27 (Ians) The German government is distributing 19,500 more monkeypox vaccine doses across the country next week, the Health Ministry said, as demand continues to outstrip supply in hotspots.
Some 40,000 doses were shipped to Germany’s states in June and another 5,300 in July, dpa news agency reported on Saturday.
The federal government has signed contracts for a total of 240,000 doses.
Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said the spread of the disease needs be prevented by all available means.
“This includes good contact tracing by the health offices, comprehensive education and the vaccination of people particularly at risk,” he said.
Sven Lehmann, the government’s commissioner overseeing issues in the queer community, said: “The willingness to vaccinate, especially among men who have sex with men, is high.”
“But especially in hotspots, the demand is much higher than the supply,” Lehmann said, adding that in some cities, those seeking vaccinations are having difficulty getting appointments.
