Germany: We are going to vaccinate 10 million people in the first quarter

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday they plan to vaccinate 10 million people in the first quarter, Reuters reported.

Additional conclusions

“It was right not to seek emergency approval, we need people to trust vaccines.”

“All vaccines that have been approved by the EMA are welcome in the EU, including Chinese and Russian vaccines.”

“The key to deciding how long the lockdown will last will be how much more infectious the new variants are.”

“Once we’ve offered everyone a vaccine, we can consider whether those who refuse should face restrictions.”

Market reaction

The EUR / USD pair largely ignored these comments and was last seen shedding 0.3% on the day at 1.2023.
