Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is getting more vaccine doses than initially expected for the start of the corona vaccinations.
Health Minister Harry Glawe (CDU) said on Tuesday after the cabinet meeting in Schwerin that the country will receive around 30,000 doses of the vaccine on December 26th.
Initially, 10,000 were planned.
On December 27, mobile vaccination teams in the country would then begin giving nursing home residents over 80 the first of two required vaccinations.
This population group will begin because with a corona infection they are particularly susceptible to the most severe disease courses up to death.
Glawe expressed confidence that with sufficient vaccine supplies from the beginning of the new year until summer, so many people in the northeast can be vaccinated that so-called herd immunity is achieved.
Experts consider a vaccination rate of 60 to 70 percent of the total population to be necessary.
