Potsdam (dpa / bb) - The first batches of corona vaccine from the US manufacturer Moderna are due to arrive in Brandenburg today.
According to the Ministry of Health, there are 2400 doses.
That means vaccine for 1200 people, because two vaccinations are necessary for each.
Further deliveries are therefore announced every two weeks.
According to Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens), the Moderna vaccine is not as demanding in terms of freezing, but it is even more sensitive in terms of transport.
Therefore it is not suitable for vaccinations in the mobile area.
Instead, he will probably be used in the newly established vaccination centers.
According to the ministry, Brandenburg has received 58,500 doses of the vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer so far. By mid-February there should be 168,000. 84,000 people could then be vaccinated with this.
