Germany is making slow progress with the corona vaccinations - in contrast to Romania, which is economically much weaker.
The Covid-19 vaccination strategy is sometimes significantly different there.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany
:
The
vaccinations against Corona
are making slow progress.
Romania
,
on the other hand, has made significantly greater progress
with
vaccination against Covid-19
- as the second poorest EU country.
Bucharest is
pursuing a partly different strategy than
Berlin.
Munich / Bucharest - January 1st, 2007 is a historically significant date for
Romania
.
Because: The former Eastern Bloc state was accepted into the
European Union (EU)
as the 26th member state
.
There were great hopes for the economically weak country of 20 million people.
Since then, they have only partially been fulfilled.
Coronavirus pandemic: Romania was the second poorest EU member state before the corona crisis
Expressed in numbers: According to the online portal
finanzen.net
,
Romania was
the second poorest member state
shortly before the
Corona crisis
, with a gross domestic product (
GDP
) of 59 percent of the EU average.
And then came the insidious
coronavirus
.
Lo and behold, in addressing the
pandemic
achieved
Romania
currently more progress than, say, the much richer (and larger)
Germany
.
Specifically: The Romanians are
making
much better progress
with the
vaccinations against Corona
than the Federal Republic.
This is shown by the continuously updated vaccination graphic from
ZDF
based on sources from the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
and
Our World in Data (OWID).

In other words: As of January 29,
just under 3.2 percent of the population
in
Romania
had received
at least one first
vaccination against Covid-19
.
In
Germany
this number was 2.7 percent at the same time.
Vaccinations against Corona: Romania is making faster progress than Germany
In the week before, a total of 261,000 vaccinations were registered in Romania
, whereas
in
Germany
, which is around four times larger with around 83 million inhabitants, 654,000 were registered.
Relatively speaking,
things went
faster
in the significantly poorer
Romania
.
The government's vaccination strategy differs in part from that of the federal government in Berlin.
Because: In a first stage, medical staff were vaccinated.
In a second stage, according to
Siebenbürger Zeitung
, “employees from systemically relevant areas, senior citizens and the chronically ill have been vaccinated since January 15.
This list has recently been expanded to include the homeless, the disabled, the bedridden and their carers, those with autoimmune diseases and some institutions. "
Coronavirus vaccinations: Romania is partly pursuing a different strategy than Germany
In
Germany
, on the other hand,
vaccinations
are first given in
old people's homes
, and the over-80 risk group is also first in line.
This meets with a lot of understanding, but also with isolated criticism that the vaccination takes longer because of the age and / or the need for care of the vaccinated.
The
vaccinations against the coronavirus
- they remain a polarizing topic.
