Germany’s vaccination rollout has descended into chaos as it emerged 80-year-olds are required to fill out 10 forms just to get the jab.
Angela Merkel has come under fire because just 10 per cent of Germany’s population has been vaccinated as the country is hit by a third wave.
Cardiologist Dr Joachim Wunderlich, who has helped at a vaccination centre in Berlin, said the bureaucratic process for people to get vaccinated in Germany was “unbelievable”.
“You can’t expect an over-80-year-old to fill out 10 pages and numerous consent forms and ask them to call a hotline to make an appointment. And then they risk being turned away because they forgot some forms at home,” he told CBS News
It comes ahead of the expected arrival of more than 500,000 Moderna jabs in the UK in another boost for the UK’s vaccine rollout.
Doctors are expected to begin administering the first Moderna jabs to under 50s within three weeks.
