Comments by German health minister, Jens Spahn

  • Minimum vaccination rate should be around 55% to 65%

Of course, this will first depend on a vaccine breakthrough but it also stirs a bit of an interesting discussion about what may happen when the time comes.

I reckon two main issues if and when a vaccine is developed is how accessible it will be, and how much of the population is still going to be skeptical about it.

However, if the future sees a situation where countries are only going to allow entry to travelers who have been vaccinated, I reckon that will encourage a lot of the general population to get one even if it is not made compulsory.

But this is a discussion for another day and another time. It's all conjecture at this stage.
