First, second and booster vaccinations are currently considered to break the fourth corona wave. Olaf Scholz started on a major mission in the Chancellery. The prospects for success are not bad at the moment.
Berlin – Right at the beginning of his term in office, Olaf Scholz (SPD) made a great promise: He wanted to give 30 million vaccinations * to protect against the coronavirus * by the end of the year. Major General Carsten Breuer, who has headed the Corona crisis team since the end of November, is confident in the last two weeks before the end of the year that this goal can be achieved.
Corona crisis team chief: “The 30 million can be created”
“We are counting from the Prime Minister’s Conference on November 18th to December 31st. We have now vaccinated 24,418,540 people and now just under two weeks left. The 30 million can be created, ”said Breuer, who is responsible for the logistical distribution of the vaccine Picture on sunday.

A look at the vaccination statistics of the Federal Ministry of Health shows that this number relates to the doses inoculated from November 18 to December 17. In order to break the 30 million mark, around 5.6 million doses have to be administered in the fourteen days up to the end of the year. The vaccination centers and doctors’ surgeries have to manage just under 400,000 vaccinations per day.
30 million corona vaccinations by the end of the year: The current pace gives hope
Since November 18, an average of 810 thousand doses have been vaccinated daily in Germany – around twice as many. Breuer’s outlook therefore seems quite realistic. However, it is not yet foreseeable whether the vaccination centers and medical practices will be able to keep up the pace in the week between the years.
- 24.4 of 30 million cans have been made.
- Around are still missing 5.6 million Vaccinations.
- Around 400 thousand vaccinations a day must be achieved in order to achieve the annual target.
Regardless of this, Breuer is already thinking beyond the goal of 30 million vaccinations. “The appearance of the omicron mutation shows that we must be able to react quickly to new developments in the future,” said Breuer Picture on sunday. The head of the crisis team is therefore planning to keep the vaccination centers on standby. Even if operations are suspended in the meantime, the centers should be ready for use again within a few days. “In the future we want to be able to vaccinate the majority of the population at any time within weeks.” (lb) * Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
