"Reason dictates that people should get vaccinated in a pandemic and those who wait risk a serious illness and spreading the virus," Spahn said.

German Health Minister Jens Spahn said Thursday the nation has vaccinated millions more people than previously thought, thanks to some unreported vaccination numbers discovered by the Robert Koch Institute for Disease Control.

Germany’s acting health minister, Jens Spahn, warned Friday the latest surge of COVID-19 infections in the country is serious, saying if nothing is done, the rate of new cases could keep doubling every two weeks.

Spahn said the good news is the overall speed of vaccinations is increasing and vaccine orders from the states are going up.

Germany's coronavirus situation is so grave that a lockdown, including for the vaccinated, cannot be ruled out, German Health Minister Jens Spahn said Friday.
