Uğur Şahin is CEO of BioNTech, the German company that in cooperation with Pfizer developed the RNA vaccine BNT162b2 "for preventing COVID-19 infections".
He "would, of course, uh, love to be vaccinated", but is in no hurry.

Last question: Wouldn’t that be a strong signal to all those who are, after all, still hesitating now, who are not yet ready to be vaccinated, if you had yourself vaccinated, along the lines of “look here, I, the developer, am ready to vaccinate myself, so you can all see how much I trust my development?“
Şahin: Yes, we, well, I would, of course, uh, love to be vaccinated as well, uh, we just have to see that we follow the legalities, we’re going to have to produce over 1.3 billion doses of vaccine in the next twelve months, it’s important that there’s no employee absenteeism, and accordingly, we’re thinking about finding a way that legally also allows us to protect our employees, but that’s still under clarification at the moment.
