Health workers are visiting kebab stalls, hockey games and hardware stores across Germany in a push to reach people who have yet to get a coronavirus shot as the country's vaccination sputters, AP reports.

It is part of a special week-long vaccination drive during which people will be offered the shots without appointments at easily accessible sites listed on a national website and promoted on social media with the hashtag 'Hier wird geimpft', meaning vaccinations are offered here.

"It's never been easier to get a vaccine," Chancellor Angela Merkel said in her weekend video address.

Germany wants 75 per cent of the population to be immunised against the coronavirus, but so far only 62.2pc of the population has received all the necessary shots.
