Earlier vaccination thanks to restriction for AstraZeneca

People over 60 actually only belong to priority group 3. But because AstraZeneca is only recommended for people over 60, the country is already opening the waiting list for this age group. On Monday, the federal government wants to discuss the progress of the vaccination campaign with the state leaders at a vaccination summit.
