Bremen
was the first federal state to achieve a vaccination rate of
20 percent
.
Every fifth resident there had been vaccinated against Corona at least once by Tuesday, as the Bremen health authority and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported on Wednesday.
The rate was exactly 20.1 percent, which corresponds to 137,000 citizens.
Nationwide, the vaccination quota averaged 15.9 percent, according to reports, and 14 million people were vaccinated.
Bremen had "inoculated significantly more than 90 percent of the vaccine delivered to us," said Health Senator Claudia Bernhard (Linke).
The quotas would be "maxed out".
This strategy will continue to be pursued.
Your country will “continue not to be cautious about the vaccine”.
The success is also proof of the good organization in the large Bremen vaccination centers, in the mobile vaccination teams and in the administration of vaccination invitations, added Bernhard.
In addition, there is the "tireless commitment" of all those involved, since last week also in the doctor's offices.
However, it is still the case that there is not enough vaccine overall.
In addition, Bremen does not yet know how many cans to expect from May, she said.
Bottleneck in vaccination centers in Brandenburg
display
Due to bottlenecks in the delivery of vaccines, new dates for first vaccinations for Biontech and Moderna in vaccination centers in Brandenburg could be reduced to zero in the next few weeks.
"We will no longer give out first vaccination dates in order to at least - as far as possible - be able to keep up the compensation of the second vaccinations for AstraZeneca with the existing Biontech and Moderna doses," said Interior Minister Michael Stübgen (CDU) on Wednesday in a health meeting - and interior committee of the state parliament.
"It will be so tight that we are not necessarily able to achieve it as of now."
The aim is to secure the necessary second vaccinations, said the minister.
62,000 vaccine doses from Biontech and Moderna are needed in the next four weeks.
"Unfortunately we don't have this vaccine at the moment."
The federal and state health ministers had agreed that people under the age of 60 with a first vaccination with AstraZeneca should switch to another preparation for the second vaccination.
The number of vaccinations in general rose again nationwide on Tuesday.
So were
530,537
doses of vaccine inoculated - on Monday it was according to the Federal Ministry of Health only 399,891.
In particular, the vaccinations for general practitioners picked up again after they had dropped significantly on Monday - mainly due to new deliveries of the vaccine to the practices.
A total of 16.9 percent of the German population have been vaccinated against Covid-19 at least once.
Incidence increases significantly

The health authorities in Germany reported
21,693 new corona infections to
the RKI within one day,
according to
the authority's data on Wednesday.
In addition,
342 new deaths were
recorded
within 24 hours
.
Exactly one week ago, the RKI had recorded 9,677 new infections and 298 deaths within one day.
According to the RKI, the
number of
new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants
was
153.2
nationwide on Wednesday
morning
.
The day before, the RKI gave this seven-day incidence as 140.9; a week ago it was 110.1.
The assessment of the infection rate is still difficult due to the recent holidays and the Easter holidays.
“We'll probably have to wait until the end of this week to see realistic figures again,” said virologist Christian Drosten from the Berlin Charite on Tuesday in the “Coronavirus Update” podcast at NDR-Info.

The RKI has counted 3,044,016 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic.
The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
The RKI stated the number of those who had recovered at around 2,718,700.
The total number of people who died with or with a proven infection with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 79,088.
According to the RKI situation report on Tuesday, the
nationwide
seven-day R-value
was
1.08
(previous day: 1.09).
This means that 100 infected people theoretically infect 108 more people.
The RKI writes that the R value has continued to rise.

The drop in value observed in the days after Easter could have been due to the temporarily lower number of tests.
According to the RKI, the R-value can only be meaningfully assessed again in a few days.
Corona worldwide
Poland
reported
803 more
coronavirus-related
deaths
on Wednesday
, the second highest number since the pandemic began.
Health Minister Adam Niedzielski announced that many of the restrictions originally planned until Monday would be extended by a week.
However, outdoor sports should then be permitted and kindergartens reopened.
Hotels, however, will remain closed until May 3rd.
In the
United States
, the CDC registered 56,689 new infections on Tuesday.
Overall, the number of proven infections is over 31 million.
The agency recorded 569 deaths within 24 hours.
In total, around 559,000 people died in the United States after being infected with the coronavirus.
Sweden has
the highest number of Corona cases per million inhabitants in Europe: According to the Guardian, the value is currently 625 - a multiple of the value in many other European countries, including the Scandinavian neighbors Norway and Finland.
The death rate per one million inhabitants is therefore higher than that of the Nordic neighbors - albeit not as high as some other European countries that had in part imposed lockdown measures that were waived in Sweden.
