Germany misses 80% vaccination-rate target
By EUobserver
The German government failed to reach its goal of vaccinating more than 80 percent of its population by the end of January. As of Monday, only 74 percent of Germans were fully-vaccinated — a figure slightly lower than those in neighbouring countries like Italy, France and Spain. The news comes amid an intense debate over a mandatory vaccination bill, which German MPs are expected to vote on this month.
