The vaccination rate in Germany is increasing – if only slowly. RKI and the Federal Ministry of Health provide new figures.
Berlin – The corona vaccination rate in Germany is increasing slowly but steadily. In Germany, 65.6 percent of the population are now fully vaccinated against the corona virus, according to data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Friday.
The rate among adults is 76.2 percent. According to this, 68.8 percent of all citizens and 79.5 percent of adults are vaccinated against the virus at least once. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, more than 54.5 million people are fully vaccinated.
Among the children and adolescents from 12 to 17 years of age, 44 percent have now received at least one first injection, 38.2 percent are fully vaccinated.
The RKI assumes, however, that probably more people among adults are vaccinated than the data suggest. In a report at the beginning of October, for example, it was said that the rate for people who were once and fully vaccinated from the age of 18 could be up to five percentage points higher.
More than 1.2 million people in Germany have already received a booster vaccination. dpa
