Germany expects drugmaker Moderna Inc to deliver Covid-19 vaccines faster than expected, helping it ramp up vaccinations in coming months, the health ministry has said.

Moderna will increase its deliveries to 1.33 million doses a week in July from 733,000 previously expected, raising the figure to 2.57m a week in August and 2.95m a week in September, Reuters quoted the ministry as saying.

The government will deliver an additional 5m doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and 1m from Johnson & Johnson to the regions next week, according to the ministry.
