Pilot traces giant syringe

飞行员“作画”庆疫苗接种

German pilot Samy Kramer has traced a giant syringe in the sky to remind people about the start of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Europe. Kramer, a 20-year-old amateur pilot, had carefully plotted out the route he needed to take in advance to create the effect in the skies above Baden-Wuerttemberg.

为庆祝欧洲多地接连开展新冠疫苗接种计划，20岁的德国业余飞行员萨米·克拉默驾驶飞机在天空中飞出巨大的针筒状航迹。为了在巴登-符腾堡州的天空中创造出这种效果，克拉默提前仔细规划了需要飞行的路线。

The maneuvers included a number of 90-degree turns during the flight that lasted 1 hour and 40 minutes and covered about 280 kilometers.

在为时1小时40分钟的飞行过程中，克拉默共飞行大约280公里，多次进行90度直角转弯操作。

There are still relatively many people opposing the vaccination and my action may be a reminder for them to think about the topic, to get things moving, Kramer told reporters.

克拉默接受采访时表示：“还有很多人反对接种疫苗，我希望能通过这种方式让他们重新思考这个问题，并推动接种计划向前迈进。”

Germany officially kicked off its COVID-19 vaccination campaign on Monday. The federal government is planning to distribute more than 1.3 million vaccine doses to local health authorities by the end of this year and about 700,000 per week beginning in January.

德国12月27日正式开始为民众接种疫苗，政府计划在今年年底之前向地方卫生部门发放超过130万剂疫苗，2021年1月起每周发放70万剂。
