Potsdam (dpa / bb) - In Brandenburg doctor's offices, more corona vaccinations are planned in the coming week than in the vaccination centers.
Around 30,000 vaccine doses each from Biontech and Pfizer are to be distributed by the federal government to the general practitioners' practices in the next week and the week after that, as the Brandenburg Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVBB) announced on Monday in Potsdam.
That would be 20 vaccination doses per practice in around 1500 practices.
Another 28,000 doses of Astrazeneca are to be sent to the 139 medical practices in the country that are participating in the “Vaccination in medical practices” model project.
The head of the Brandenburg health insurance company, Peter Noack, sees this as a powerful boost for vaccinations.
"In the next week, more people will be vaccinated in the contracted doctor's practices than in the vaccination centers - across the board, close to home and in accordance with the applicable prioritization," said Noack.
In order for this to work, the vaccine deliveries must arrive reliably and on time, and the campaign must be extended by general practitioners to all contract doctor practices that regularly vaccinate.
That would be a total of 2200 practices in Brandenburg.
After a poor ranking until mid-March, Brandenburg is now in the upper midfield nationwide in terms of the proportion of corona first vaccinations in the population with 11.7 percent.
There were higher quotas in Saarland, Bremen, Thuringia and Schleswig-Holstein, according to figures from the Robert Koch Institute.
When it comes to second vaccinations, Brandenburg lags behind with a share of 3.7 percent.
