Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg will get 25 percent less vaccine from the manufacturers Biontech and Pfizer in the coming week.
Therefore, fewer first vaccinations could be carried out in the coming weeks, the Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday.
The reduction in the amount of vaccine will not be compensated for until mid-February, the statement said.
In addition, there are still no secure delivery commitments from the manufacturer.
“The information now available on the further delivery schedule and scope of delivery of the BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine is not satisfactory.
There are still a lot of ambiguities, "said Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens).
The country cannot ramp the system up and down as quickly as it likes, she stressed.
"These are complex processes, for the conscientious preparation and implementation of which we need absolutely reliable delivery commitments."
For the time being, no new vaccination appointments will be made for the vaccination centers in Potsdam, Cottbus and Schönefeld.
The dates that have already been agreed will be rebooked from next week.
The agreed appointments in the vaccination centers in Elsterwerda, Frankfurt (Oder) and Oranienburg, which start this week, will remain in place until the end of next week.

The ministry said that vaccinations will continue in the nursing homes.
The appointments previously agreed with the care facilities with the mobile vaccination teams for the first and second vaccination should remain unchanged.
