In an interview on the ZDF news magazine "Heute Journal," Prof. Volker Wieland pointed out the importance of the vaccination progress for the economic development. In a European comparison, he said, Germany was in a good economic position during the pandemic. This, he said, is due to the high share of industry in the overall economy. "We are not as dependent on tourism as many southern European countries," Wieland said.
