Corona: vaccination speed in Germany is weakening

There is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to vaccination speed.

According to RKI-Informations (RKI), the number of vaccine doses administered in Germany is falling.

For example, only 572,482 doses were administered on Tuesday.

For comparison: on June 9th there were 1.5 million.

According to the Ministry of Health, 47.3 percent of the population are fully vaccinated.

60.2 percent received a vaccine dose.

The RKI estimates that the vaccination quota for 12 to 59-year-olds should be at least 85 percent.

For those over 60, 90 percent.

The delta variant plays a role in the infection process in Germany.

The vaccine protection against infection is overestimated, says the Bonn virologist Hendrik Streeck.
