Nationwide, 8182 people in Brandenburg were vaccinated against the corona virus by Wednesday.
Although around 3,000 Brandenburgers were vaccinated within one day - the previous day there were around 5,400 vaccinations - according to data from the Robert Koch Institute, the state remains in third-last place in the nationwide comparison for vaccinations per 1000 inhabitants (3 , 2).
