A spokesperson for the German government stressed the need to bring the vaccine “to all corners of the world,” during a press conference in Berlin, on Monday, saying it was necessary to end the pandemic.
“The pandemic won’t be over nor behind us while it still rages in other parts of the world. So it is in our own interest and a matter of global justice to bring vaccines to all corners of the world where they are needed and where it is still required to be transported,” said government spokesperson Steffen Seibert, adding, “There is a cooperation between BioNTech-Pfizer and some countries in Africa, but the keyword here is not the question on the patent, but the production capacity and access to expertise elements in order to produce the vaccines and therefore BioNTech-Pfizer is working together with multiple international actors.”
On the topic of the resumption of the commercial flights of the Kabul Airport, Maria Adebahr, spokesperson of the Foreign Office said 60 people were flown out of Afghanistan during the weekend, but was unable to confirm whether they were German or Afghan citizens.
Adebahr also addressed the interruption of flights to the US Airbase of Ramstein, “because isolated cases of measles have occurred and that is now being investigated and we are in very close contact with them. You can be confident that we will cope with this quickly as well as other concerns.”

SOT, Steffen Seibert, German Government spokesperson (German): “The pandemic won’t be over nor behind us while it still rages in other parts of the world. So it is in our own interest and a matter of global justice to bring vaccines to all corners of the world where they are needed and where it is still required to be transported.”

SOT, Steffen Seibert, German Government spokesperson (German): “There is a cooperation between Biontech-Pfizer and some countries in Africa, but the keyword here is not the question on the patent, but the production capacity and access to expertise elements in order to produce the vaccines and therefore Biontech-Pfizer is working together with multiple international actors.”

SOT, Maria Adebahr, Foreign Ministry spokesperson (German): “Over the weekend we have flown 60 German citizens with their families from Afghanistan, so far we can say. Or rather 60 people were flown out, also there I take that back, as there could also be Afghan citizens among them. This is difficult to verify. Therefore 60 people were capable of leaving the country during the weekend, and we are working under high pressure to be able to fly people out through this civil channel.”

SOT, Maria Adebahr, Foreign Ministry spokesperson (German): “Yes, the Americans temporarily had to stop the flights from Ramstein during this weekend, because isolated cases of measles have occurred and that is now being investigated and we are in very close contact with them. You can be confident that we will cope with this quickly as well as other concerns. We also had situations related to diseases appearing and even births taking place, the handling of all that, are nice events indeed. In this regard, we are in constant communication, and we hope that the flights can resume soon. Additionally, there will be the need to vaccinate the people on site, and also to test But I believe that is well under way.”
