As one of the richest countries in the world, in Germany, we are lucky enough to be better prepared than other poorer countries, thanks to the free vaccines. Joshua and I agreed that with our campaign "We Kick Corona", we now want to also support the global vaccination COVAX campaign", Goretzka concluded.
