Potsdam (dpa / bb) - After its Internet information portal for corona vaccination, which it launched in December, the Brandenburg state government is planning an awareness-raising and information campaign.

The state-specific campaign is to start later this year and support the nationwide campaign for a vaccination against Covid-19, the Ministry of Health in Potsdam announced on Tuesday in response to a request from the parliamentary group of Free Voters.

At the same time, the state government is again speaking out against compulsory vaccination.

However, there is no doubt that vaccinations are a tried and tested means of combating communicable diseases.

However, this requires careful clarification.

Extensive and transparent information is therefore the basis for a high willingness to vaccinate.

Ministry spokesman Gabriel Hesse told the German Press Agency that the campaign would be geared towards the information needs of the population.

“This depends on how willing the groups with lower priority are to be vaccinated.

The goal is a vaccination rate of 70 percent of the adult population in order to break the chains of infection. "

The prerequisite, however, is that sufficient vaccine is available.

The Ministry of Health launched the online portal www.brandenburg-impft.de in December with the Berlin-Brandenburg Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and the German Red Cross.

All the important information for the national vaccination strategy in the state of Brandenburg would then be published, the answer continues.

According to the information provided by the federal government about the corona pandemic, it can be accessed via the online portal www.z zusammengegencorona.de, which was set up at the end of December.

The campaign has been supplemented with the motto: "Germany is rolling up its arms - for the corona vaccination" nationwide since the beginning of January with newspaper advertisements as well as radio and TV spots.
