BERLIN, May 11 (Reuters) - German Health Minister Jens Spahn
has called on the European Commission to order COVID-19 booster
vaccines for 2022/2023 from at least four companies, a letter
seen by Reuters on Tuesday showed.
"It is my firm belief that it is inevitable to continue to
apply a portfolio approach to vaccines procurement also for
2022/2023, including vaccines of different technologies and from
different companies capable of timely deliveries," he wrote.
"Therefore, two mRNA-vaccines and at least two additional
technologies should be included. I very much hope that you can
support this approach," he wrote in the letter to the European
Commissioner dated May 6.
