According to the will of the red-black-green coalition, the vaccination offers in Brandenburg are to be significantly expanded in view of the increasing number of new corona infections. "This is not about starting up the vaccination centers on a large scale," said SPD parliamentary group leader Daniel Keller on Tuesday in Potsdam. However, it is a matter of financially supporting the offers in the districts in hospitals, medical care centers, cultural institutions and vaccination buses.

However, it is a matter of financially supporting the offers in the districts in hospitals, medical care centers, cultural institutions and vaccination buses.

Potsdam - The doctors currently did not manage the targeted number of 100,000 vaccinations per week.

"When it comes to vaccination, it will not fail because of the money," promised Keller.

Of the 289 million euros in this year's budget for vaccinations, only around 90 million have been used.

The CDU parliamentary group leader Jan Redmann said that there should be more decentralized vaccination offers in the countryside.

Green parliamentary group leader Benjamin Raschke emphasized that he did not consider large vaccination centers to be useful.

"We will need vaccination sites that can be vaccinated on a small scale."
