German minister sees COVID-19 vaccine shortage well into April

BERLIN, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Germany's health minister expects
the current shortage of coronavirus vaccines to continue well
into April, he said on Thursday, as the government faced new
criticism over the pace of its vaccination programme.

"We will still have at least 10 tough weeks with a shortage
of vaccine," Jens Spahn said in a Tweet, adding that he wanted
to call a summit of federal and regional leaders in Germany to
discuss vaccinations.
