It is the next negative news: Moderna vaccine deliveries are also to be reduced.
This was announced by Hamburg's mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) on Twitter.
He is referring to a communication from the Federal Chancellery.
“How should you plan the vaccinations?” He writes.
The company AstraZeneca also announced last week that it would initially deliver significantly less vaccine to the EU than planned, which led to a fierce supply dispute.
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.
