German President Steinmeier receives AstraZeneca jab

Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Thursday was inoculated with AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 jab. The German President received the first dose just two days after authorities recommended the use of the controversial drug only for people aged 60 and over.

While officials across the EU have been at pains to shore up public confidence in AstraZeneca’s vaccine, President Steinmeier showed full support for that kind of vaccine.

“I trust the vaccines authorised in Germany,” the 65-year-old Steinmeier said following the fast and easy procedure at Berlin’s Military Hospital.
