Berlin (dpa) - In Germany, more than 30 million people have now received a first vaccination against the corona virus.
This means that 36.5 percent of the population are vaccinated at least once, as Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) announced via Twitter.
More than nine million people, and thus 10.9 percent of the population, already have full vaccination protection.
There should be a strong focus on the second vaccination by the end of May.
According to Spahn, the relative share of second vaccinations in daily vaccinations will be high by the beginning of June.
After that, the proportion of first vaccinations increases again.
The vaccination campaign in Germany began at the end of last year.
First it was the turn of people over 80, residents of old people's and nursing homes and medical staff.
Among other things, chronically ill people with an increased risk of a serious and fatal course are given preference to vaccinate.
Several federal states have announced that the vaccination prioritization in medical practices will be lifted for the coming week.
