Plans reveal massive Euro investment of three billion from federal authorities for vaccine procurement in 2021
Germany to Allocate Additional Funds for Vaccination Centers
Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) reports that the German federal government has announced plans to allocate an additional one billion euros for the establishment and operation of vaccination centers. This news comes as the country continues its efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The funds will be drawn from a special corona contingency fund, which totals five billion euros and is reserved for currently unquantifiable corona costs. The allocation will be made from individual budget item 60, which includes revenues and expenditures of the federal government that cannot be attributed to a single department.
The costs for the vaccination centers will initially be shared between the federal government and the states. The federal states involved in this endeavour have not been explicitly named in the provided search results. It is expected that later, the costs for the vaccination centers will be paid from the liquidity reserve of the health fund.
The federal government's contribution to the vaccination centers is likely to be start-up financing. Additionally, the government plans to allocate three billion euros for the procurement of corona vaccines next year.
