Berlin (dpa) - Before the announced surge in corona vaccinations, the pace of the vaccination campaign in Germany is currently stagnating.
Almost a week after the end of the vaccination ban for the Astrazeneca product, online booking for vaccination appointments has not yet been re-activated in all federal states.
It differs from country to country how much of the serum supplied has actually been inoculated and to what extent the very old are protected.
With an expected 70.5 to 73.5 million Corona vaccination doses, significantly more people in Germany should be able to be vaccinated in the upcoming second quarter.
There were 19.8 million cans in the first quarter.
There are millions of uninjected vaccine doses in these countries.
The North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of Health Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) spoke of "false reports about" vaccination doses on stockpile "".
He explained that the vaccination doses in the warehouse must be available for appointments or second vaccinations that have already been agreed.
The vaccination dashboard of the Federal Ministry of Health provides an overview of the vaccination doses that have been delivered and injected.

DELIVERED - VACCINATED:
According to the information provided by Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), the federal government delivered 3.37 million cans to North Rhine-Westphalia by Tuesday.
According to the information, 2.31 million of them were administered by Wednesday, or 68.5 percent.
Bavaria reached 2.46 million doses - 1.92 million were inoculated (78 percent).
Baden-Württemberg received 2.08 million cans - 1.52 million (73.1 percent) were injected.
In Lower Saxony there were 1.5 million cans delivered and 1.07 million inoculated cans (71.3 percent).
According to the figures, Hessen got 1.19 million and contaminated 0.87 million (73.1 percent).
More than 0.77 million vaccine doses went to Rhineland-Palatinate - 0.6 million were vaccinated (77.9 percent).
Saxony received almost 0.77 million and contaminated 0.54 million (70.1 percent).
Berlin received 0.7 million doses, and 0.53 million doses (75.7 percent) were administered in the capital.
Schleswig-Holstein received 0.55 million doses, of which 0.42 million were injected (76.4 percent).
In Thuringia, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saarland and Bremen the numbers are lower.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, a total of around 268,000 vaccine doses were administered on Tuesday - four days after the end of the almost four-day Astrazeneca vaccination freeze.
There were 248,000 doses on the Tuesday before the vaccination stop and 304,000 doses on the Friday before the vaccination stop.
DIFFERENCES IN OVER 80 YEARS OLD:
The countries also show clear differences in vaccination progress for those who are exposed to particularly high risks of a severe or fatal course in the event of Covid 19 disease: the elderly and those with previous illnesses.
According to the Robert Koch Institute in Saarland, more than 73 percent of people over the age of 80 were vaccinated at least once - in Baden-Württemberg and the North Rhine-Westphalia-Lippe region, on the other hand, only around 59 percent and in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania just under 50 percent .
In Baden-Württemberg, Minister of Social Affairs Manne Lucha (Greens) recently spoke of a “success” when he announced that the waiting list for citizens over 80 and those over 65 from certain professional groups would be processed by the end of March.

The head of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko), Thomas Mertens, had repeatedly warned that those most at risk for severe Covid-19 courses would be disadvantaged.
Mertens saw the reason that teachers, educators and police officers, for example, were given priority vaccinations, even if they were young and healthy.
In Baden-Württemberg, for example, educational staff in schools and day-care centers have been authorized to vaccinate since mid-February.
In Berlin, for example, the group of those entitled to vaccinate was not extended to daycare workers until around a week later, and then to primary school teachers in mid-March.
VACCINATION AT EASTER - AND AFTER:
In spite of the holidays, vaccinations should now be carried out at Easter.
"We have instructed the communal vaccination centers and asked them to continue vaccinating over the holidays," said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health in Hanover.
Saxony-Anhalt expressly wants to continue vaccinating.
In Baden-Wuerttemberg, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Social Affairs said that there will always be vaccinations over Easter - depending on the vaccine available.
It is possible that individual centers distribute appointments over the other days of the week and close at Easter, but in this case it is due to insufficient vaccine.
In Schleswig-Holstein, according to the Ministry of Health, vaccination appointments are given without a break.
In Thuringia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin, the vaccination centers are also said to be open over Easter.
Bremen also wants to keep it that way.
In the week after Easter, according to a federal-state resolution from last week, general practitioners are also to enter the corona vaccination campaign nationwide, but initially with just under a million doses a week, around 20 doses for each practice.
After Easter, deliveries should then increase significantly step by step.
According to the Federal Ministry of Health, up to 15.3 million doses of vaccine will be delivered in April - only 4.5 million fewer than in the entire first quarter.
