The experts of the German Institute also point out the necessary planning of administration prior to approval.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) considers the use of a vaccine against the coronavirus in autumn to be possible. “Preliminary forecasts make the availability of one (possibly several) vaccine by autumn 2020 seem possible,” says a publication by the German authority published on Wednesday entitled “The pandemic in Germany in the next few months”.
At the same time, however, the publication warns that it would be dangerous at this point in time to trust that vaccination from autumn onwards will make the pandemic manageable, as uncertainties such as mutations or only short immunity periods could relativise the benefits of vaccination.
“In any case, it is essential to prepare a nationwide vaccination campaign without delay for the time when an effective vaccine will be available,” emphasize the RKI experts. “For this purpose, viable concepts for storage, distribution logistics, prioritized target groups or comprehensive vaccination surveillance will be developed already now”. The planning for this is ongoing.
