Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - Within one day, almost 116,000 vaccinations against Corona were carried out in North Rhine-Westphalia.

This comes from the vaccination statistics published on Wednesday by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).

Accordingly, 115,613 first and second vaccinations were reported in North Rhine-Westphalia for Tuesday alone.

That is more than on the two days before (Monday: 87 482, Sunday: 71 667).

On Wednesday of last week there was a vaccination record of more than 135,000 people in North Rhine-Westphalia, as the state government announced on the following Thursday.

After the general practitioners joined the company, the number of corona vaccinations nationwide and in North Rhine-Westphalia rose by leaps and bounds.

The number of first vaccinations by general practitioners on Tuesday at 49 576 came close to the number of first vaccinations in vaccination centers, clinics and by mobile teams of 54 374 syringes.

More than three million people in North Rhine-Westphalia have received an initial vaccination against Corona since the campaign began at the end of December.

The number rose to 3,124,564 on Tuesday.

That corresponds to 17.4 percent of the population.

The rate in the most populous federal state with around 18 million inhabitants is still slightly above the national average of 16.9 for first-time vaccinations.

The second injection for full protection was given to more than a million people.

The RKI currently reports the number of 1,075,709.

That is 6.0 percent of the population compared to 6.2 percent in the national average.

So far, a total of 4.2 million vaccine doses against Corona have been injected into the arms in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Including the late registrations from previous days, the total number of all previous vaccinations rose by a good 137,000 from Tuesday to Wednesday.
