Manufacturers deliver less Vaccination campaign could stall

Status: 16.06.2021 2:47 p.m. In Germany there will be fewer BioNTech cans available next month. Johnson & Johnson is also delivering less than planned. The German vaccination campaign could suffer a setback as a result. The vaccine manufacturer BioNTech will deliver significantly less vaccine to Germany in July than in June. Instead of 5.7 million cans for the last week of June, only 3.2 million cans are planned for the first week of July (KW 27). But there could be no question of a surprising cut, said a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Health. Rather, BioNTech preferred deliveries in June that were actually intended for later. It was always clear that the delivery volume of the Mainz manufacturer in the third quarter would be around 40.2 million vaccination doses lower than the around 50 million in the second quarter. So far there has only been a clear delivery promise for the first week of July with 3.235 million cans. After that, around 3.3 million doses per week can be expected. That was also communicated to the federal states. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach therefore warns of a setback for the vaccination campaign: “If the BioNTech deliveries fall so sharply, it will be difficult to demonstrate herd immunity before mid-September,” he told the “Spiegel”. At the same time, it is shown that the delta variant is highly infectious and sometimes causes severe disease. “That’s scary,” said Lauterbach.

6.5 million fewer doses from Johnson & Johnson

The US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (J&J) will also deliver significantly fewer vaccine doses than planned. The European Commission expects that J&J will not be able to meet its delivery targets to the EU for the second quarter. The reason for this is a decision by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to which 17 million doses of the vaccine cannot be used in the EU for safety reasons after cases of contamination have occurred in a US plant. The group will therefore probably not reach its delivery target of 55 million cans by the end of June, says a commission spokesman. So far, only around twelve million cans have been delivered. The Federal Ministry of Health estimates that J&J will be able to deliver around 6.5 million fewer doses to Germany than planned by the end of June because of the breakdown. “That is unfortunate, because every vaccine counts,” said a spokeswoman. The ministry expects the missing quantity to be replenished in July.

Waiting for Sputnik and Curevac

The Germans will probably have to wait even longer for the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, because, according to government circles, approval will be postponed “probably to September, maybe even to the end of the year”. The reason is that the Russian manufacturer has not yet submitted the necessary clinical trial data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the news agency Reuters learned from government circles. The clinical dossier was supposed to be available by June 10th. The Russian state fund RDIF, which sells Sputnik V, described the information as incorrect. All the necessary data on the clinical studies have been submitted and received positive comments. Initially, no comments were received from the EMA. The vaccine from Curevac is also not yet available. The vaccine from the Tübingen company, once praised as a bearer of hope, is still not approved. The Federal Ministry of Health has therefore canceled the delivery of 1.4 million vaccine doses originally planned for the current second quarter. According to health expert Lauterbach, the delay in approval could indicate that the effectiveness of the Curevac vaccine is not looking good.

Moderna delivers a little more

Meanwhile, there are increasing complaints about the shortage of vaccines – from company doctors, general practitioners and some vaccination centers. The calls from some prime ministers for more vaccine also persist – while millions of Germans are still waiting for an initial vaccination. There is positive news from Moderna: The US manufacturer will increase its delivery volume compared to June, from 622,000 to 733,000 cans per week. In addition, Schleswig-Holstein is giving part of the AstraZeneca vaccine provided by Denmark to Hamburg. Thanks to the delivery, at least 8,000 new appointments can be made in the vaccination center in the megacity since today. The neighboring state does not manage to use the cans from Danish stock in time before the expiry date at the end of June.

background June 15, 2021

I am 27 years old this year, no lover, and have just experienced a few love that went nowhere in the past. However, this does not bother me. With a strong personality, I live a celibacy, prioritize loving myself, don’t need a man to “fill the void”.

However, my daughter was also of age, my mother kept urging me to get married quickly and give birth to children. She is from the previous generation, her thoughts are a bit old-fashioned. Before, when my father was still alive, he was definitely a psychological father to a daughter. Normally, when my mother urged me to get married, my father would just brush it off and say that now I need to travel a lot, take care of myself. Even so, my father even gave me money when my mother “bullied”. However, my father passed away too soon, could not wait for my filial piety, it was all because of a serious illness.

There is a younger brother below me who is in college this year. The family has 3 mothers and children sometimes sad. That is why my mother urged me to get married early so that we could have more a bridegroom, and furthermore, one of my grandchildren.

Although I do not actively seek for love, I also have a few dating apps installed on my phone. I have to say I have good looks, sharp eyes and a personality face, so many boys take the initiative to get acquainted with the text. Sometimes I just go to check and reply to someone’s messages that I find intrigued. Some boys texted me to go out, go on a date, but I was too lazy, didn’t want to carry my body out, even though I said my home address.

Lately, a strange man kept sending flowers to his house. A few days after I got home from work, my mother gave me a bouquet of flowers and spoke “There’s someone in front of my house here. No text, just flowers.”

Each week, about 1-2 bouquets of flowers will be sent flowers like that. Not a message, not a recipient’s address, all just a bare bouquet. I immediately “localize” a few people that I often text back and forth. But everyone denied giving flowers to me, even sarcasm “Many people like it so many people do not know what to give flowers now!”

I was really curious inside that couldn’t be helped. Find all the suspicious people and still find no confirmation. Bouquets of flowers are sent out around the time I go to work, but normally if I’m at home there won’t be any.

In the end, I came up with a way, but still quite unlucky. That is, I check the camera in the apartment where I live. It is difficult to get in, because only the security guard or someone on management can grant the permission. Fortunately, thanks to the “relationship” plus the smart mouth, I can also see who came to the house to give the bouquet.

It turns out, a man came to my mother, put on a mask, and said something to her. I don’t know if he was the owner of the bouquets or just the delivery man. I hid this story and did not rush to tell my mother.

However, shortly after, I discovered in the drawer of the mother’s room an envelope containing 10 million VND. Besides that, there is also a message attached “Dear me, I hope you and your children will live well”.

I really doubted that the envelope was attached to the bouquet. And if you send it to me, why “hope you and the children”? I continued to secretly look in my mother’s locker when she was not at home. At the bottom of the cupboard, many envelopes have similar content. Especially, the number of envelopes is equal to the number of bouquets I received.

At this point, I couldn’t stand it. My mother must have had an affair with another man and then lied that the bouquet he sent for me was to cover her eyes. When talking privately with her mother, she admitted. That because my father is dead, she feels lonely, empty, and needs to be filled with her thoughts. The man was rich, his wife also died, just wanting to provide more support for my mother’s life comfortably.

My mother said to understand her, but now I’m really empty, don’t know what to do to sympathize …
