Germany's COVID-19 vaccination campaign has gathered pace – the number of jabs given has more than doubled since late March and the nation is now on track to inoculate more than 5 million people each week.

Deliveries from the European Union's vaccination procurement have increased after a sluggish start at the beginning of the year when two of the main vaccine providers, Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca, informed the bloc they would have to lower delivery projections.
