Potsdam (dpa / bb) - The capacities for vaccinations against the coronavirus are to be expanded throughout Brandenburg.
On Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) and Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) agreed on this with the districts and independent cities in a video conference on the vaccination campaign.
As government spokesman Florian Engels announced on request, it was agreed to increase the number of vaccination centers from 11 to 18.
The DRK, the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, the State Hospital Society and the State Medical Association also took part in the conference.
Vaccination centers are currently in operation in Potsdam, Cottbus and Schönefeld (BER).
More should start in Elsterwerda, Frankfurt (Oder), Oranienburg, Eberswalde, Brandenburg an der Havel, Prenzlau, Kyritz and Luckenwalde by the beginning of February.
Further vaccination centers are expected to follow by the end of February.
By then, all districts and urban districts should be equipped accordingly.
According to the government spokesman, the number of mobile vaccination teams will also be increased, regardless of when the vaccination centers are set up.
In this way, it should be possible to offer all residents in old people's and nursing homes a vaccination offer by mid-February.

"The coordination with everyone involved was very constructive and helpful," said Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) on Wednesday evening.
“In order to make progress with vaccination, a close alliance between the state, municipal level and other partners is necessary.
We agreed that today. "
The vaccination start has been slow so far.
The left faction had accused the government of failing.
Brandenburg was in the lower midfield with the vaccinations per 1000 inhabitants on Wednesday with 7.8.
When it comes to vaccinating nursing home residents, Brandenburg was second to last.
