The results of “FAZ” show that approximately four million doses of vaccines in Germany remain unused. Vaccination centers store preparations that are not delivered to doctors, including those who administer the injection

“Since there is no tracking system like the post office, no one knows where the vaccines are really,” Dominik von Stilfried, president of the Central Institute for Statutory Health Insurance (ZI), admitted in an interview with the German daily.

FAZ journalists calculated the number of unused doses by comparing the range of supplies from the federal government to the states with data on vaccines already administered.

“Federal and state governments need to be clear about where vaccines are and then make sure that vaccinations are done as quickly as possible,” said the IG chief.

According to ZI data, centers use only 80 percent of the vaccines available to them, while GPs administer more than 99 percent. PAP explains that this is due to the fact that family doctors, who have unused doses, can reach patients awaiting vaccination faster with them.
