It is the next negative news: Moderna vaccine deliveries are also to be reduced.
Hamburg's First Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) announced this on Twitter.
He is referring to a communication from the Federal Chancellery.
“How should you plan the vaccinations?” He writes.
However, according to the Ministry of Health, reduced vaccine deliveries from the biotech group are more than offset in Germany by additional deliveries from other manufacturers.
While Moderna was delivering 43,200 doses less than planned, BioNTech and AstraZeneca delivered 1,747,000 more vaccine doses than previously planned to the federal states by February 22, the ministry said on Twitter.

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) expects another five million vaccine doses from the three manufacturers AstraZeneca, Biontech and Moderna in February.
The companies had announced deliveries with delivery dates by February 22, said Spahn on Saturday at a discussion event with experts and representatives from the care sector.
So far, 3.5 million cans have been delivered, more than two million of which have already been inoculated.
"There are vaccines every week," said Spahn.
But it has to be more.
The minister asked for understanding for the teething problems.
It is the largest vaccination campaign in German history.
The start was "difficult", but the "path has begun", said the minister.
