Potsdam (dpa / bb) - The delivery of vaccines for further corona vaccinations will initially pause in Brandenburg at the beginning of 2021.
"Even the state of Brandenburg will not receive any vaccine delivery in the first week of January," the Ministry of Health announced on Twitter on Wednesday.
Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) said that 19,500 vaccine doses per week are planned for Brandenburg.
This means that if two vaccinations are required, around 10,000 people can receive vaccination protection.
So far 39,000 vaccine doses have been delivered.
Around 1,550 people had been vaccinated by Tuesday, said Nonnemacher.
First of all, people over the age of 80 as well as residents of nursing homes and staff in hospitals and nursing homes receive protection.
Berlin's Senator for Health Dilek Kalayci (SPD) had previously said that the delivery in the first calendar week of 2021 would be canceled without replacement, which would cause Berlin great difficulties.
