In the federal states, a lack of predictability for corona vaccinations is increasingly causing frustration.
This was shown by a survey by WELT AM SONNTAG among the 16 state governments that are responsible for implementing the vaccination strategy on site.
"There is a massive problem with the amount of vaccine available that the federal government makes available to us," criticizes the Ministry of Health in Baden-Württemberg.
In addition, Hesse and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania also warn that the manufacturer's promised delivery quantities are reliably adhered to.
However, there are major differences in vaccination progress between the individual federal states, as data from the Robert Koch Institute show.
Accordingly, the federal states Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Rhineland-Palatinate, which are relatively small in terms of their population, were far ahead with vaccination rates of 3.4 percent each around four weeks after the start of vaccination.

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Health Minister Harry Glawe justifies the vaccination success with the “high willingness to vaccinate” in the population.
In addition, more than 600 volunteers have made sure that the vaccination logistics are on the way quickly.
The federal states, which are behind in vaccination progress, defend themselves against accusations.
According to this, some federal states have apparently pushed ahead without ensuring the corresponding number of second vaccinations, as the federal government recommends.
“Our goal has always been to be reliable and not to make false promises,” explains the Ministry of Health in Baden-Württemberg.
"Other countries were more guided by a table position in the RKI ranking."

The situation, especially the delivery difficulties of some manufacturers, shows that the path taken is the right one.
"While there is chaos in other countries, thousands of appointments have to be canceled and postponed or a vaccination ban is imposed, in Baden-Württemberg the vaccinations can take place as planned and promised despite delivery cuts," said a spokesman.
The front runners Rhineland-Palatinate and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, on the other hand, point out that they too have set aside enough vaccine.
"The second vaccinations are guaranteed," says Schwerin.
Rhineland-Palatinate explains that they are working with a rolling system.
"Each time the first appointment is assigned, the second appointment is also stored in the planning," it says there.
In the next three weeks, however, the vaccination rate in the state is likely to slow down significantly: Because there is a lack of vaccine, the first vaccinations will be suspended for the time being and only second vaccinations will be given.
