Germany to face disruptions in supply of about 900,000 doses of Moderna vaccine - Reports

BERLIN, April 7 (Sputnik) - Germany may not receive a batch of almost 900,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine from the US manufacturer Moderna, Business Insider reported on Wednesday, citing government sources.
According to the news portal, Berlin was set to get a shipment of 627,600 to 878,400 Moderna vaccines from April 26 to May 2, but the order will "apparently" not be delivered to the country. Already faced with a shortfall in AstraZeneca vaccine supplies, Germany intends to increase orders from BioNTech, though some vaccination appointments will have to be canceled in the meantime.
"We barely have any stockpiles left and, additionally, we have a lot of vaccination appointments booked for the coming weeks, so the situation will be challenging," a government official was cited as saying by Business Insider.
