Erfurt (dpa / th) - Health Minister Heike Werner (Linke) thinks it is possible that all Thuringians who want to be vaccinated can be vaccinated from around the middle of the year.

“We very much hope that by the second half of the year at the latest, there will be enough vaccines available that anyone can get vaccinated,” she said in a video published by her ministry on Twitter on Saturday.

"But of course it depends on which vaccines are approved and that enough vaccines have been produced."

Since the start of vaccination at the end of last year, vaccinations against the corona virus have been carried out 22,090 times in Thuringia on Saturday, according to the ministry.

That was 2779 more vaccinations than on Friday.

According to the Robert Koch Institute on Saturday (as of 9.45 a.m.), Thuringia was still the federal state most severely affected by the pandemic.

The number of new infections within the past seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was therefore 268. The neighboring federal states of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt followed with around 256 and 235. Nationwide, the seven-day incidence was 139. Thuringia has around 2.1 million Residents.

The vaccination rate is now 10.3 per 1000 inhabitants.

The number of people who can be shown to have been infected with the virus rose by 55 compared to the previous day to 1611. During the same period, 899 new infections were registered.

The districts of Saalfeld-Rudolstadt (incidence value around 503) and Altenburger Land (around 450), as well as Hildburghausen (around 440), were still the hardest hit.

Saalfeld-Rudolstadt was also the district with the highest incidence in Germany.
