Berlin - How high is Germany's Corona vaccination rate * really?

The important value hit the headlines at the beginning of October.

At that time, the RKI assumed that significantly more people had already been vaccinated against the virus than previously thought.

The Association of German Company and Company Doctors is now stepping up again: It suspects that around 1.5 million vaccinations were not reported in Germany.

Corona vaccination quota in Germany: many vaccinations not reported?

Most of the vaccinations * were received through the health insurance system.

Exactly how many of these have not been reported is so far unclear, emphasizes the association's vice-president Anette Wahl-Wachendorf to the

editorial network Germany (RND).

As the company reported, citing an estimate by the company doctors' association, the number could amount to 1.5 million.

“We explained and sensitized everyone in all directions,” said Wahl-Wachendorf.

To clarify, she is now expecting talks with the RKI.

The spokesman for the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Roland Stahl, reported that there were also no isolated vaccination reports from the statutory health insurance physicians.

Corona: Infectiologist warns - "Do not have a real vaccination quota"

"We don't have a real vaccination quota, that's a huge problem, a structural problem," the Cologne-based infectiologist Gerd Fätkenheuer made clear to the

RND

.

"I'm afraid that it will only be visible in the end through the accounts."

It is still unclear whether the nationwide corona situation will actually be lifted in November.

Because of the uncertainties about the vaccination rate and the rapidly increasing number of infections, Fäktenheuer considers this decision to be “very unwise”: “We are just entering the critical winter months and we will see what is happening in other countries.

There couldn't have been a worse time for this announcement. "

Meanwhile, the corona numbers continue to rise significantly.

Since Saturday, the nationwide seven-day incidence has been in the three-digit range for the first time in months.

According to the RKI, the value rose to 100.0.

According to this, 15,145 new infections were registered within one day.
