In a nutshell: triggered by a corresponding request.
The fact that the European Union ordered too few vaccine doses in the COVID-19 pandemic and that there is therefore hardly any vaccine for the citizens of the Union does not go far enough. You also have to take into account that at the beginning of the current pandemic there was no vaccine at all.
It is already a success that vaccines could be developed in such a short time - this was only possible through international cooperation and immense financial support from many countries, including the EU.
Now from the start, to provide sufficient vaccine that supplies more than seven billion people, including 500 million Union citizens, including 80 million Germans, is an unprecedented mammoth task!
Vaccination itself also takes us to our limits: if a million people are vaccinated every day in the EU, it will take at least 500 days for everyone to be "vaccinated".
It was therefore also self-evident from the outset that there must be vaccination prioritization at all levels - the vaccination sequence is determined by politics:
“Us first” is the wrong approach!
