Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Brandenburg will speed up the vaccination according to the words of Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD).
"After Easter, the general practitioners will be included in the vaccination campaign," said Woidke on Friday after the federal and state vaccination summit.
"That way we can get into the area better."
In the beginning there were rather small amounts that increased quickly.
The goal is initially around 80,000 vaccinations per week.
He thanked the doctors who wanted to participate.
The suspension of Astrazeneca brought Brandenburg a dent in the vaccinations.
«But we will catch up.
The pace will pick up. "
Woidke announced: "When it's my turn, I will of course get vaccinated - also with Astrazeneca."
That is a good vaccine that gives security.
The heads of government of the federal states and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) agreed on Friday that family doctors in Germany would routinely start vaccinations against the corona virus immediately after Easter.
Vaccination centers and medical practices are to be combined with one another.
In future, the vaccination centers will reliably receive 2.25 million doses per week, the excess amount will then go to the doctor's offices.

The head of the Brandenburg Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Peter Noack, called for a priority for the vaccinations of general practitioners.
"If you were to shift the priorities, you could, from my point of view, go ahead now," Noack told the German press agency.
That is uncomplicated and cheaper.
So far, vaccination at the doctor's in Brandenburg has only been a model project because the regular vaccinations were not possible according to the federal ordinance.
The vaccinations started with difficulties in Brandenburg, Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) was criticized.
A staff for vaccination coordination starts on Monday in the CDU-led Interior Ministry.
