New data are available. The vaccination against the corona virus continues. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has announced new figures.
Berlin – In Germany, on a weekly average, more than one person is still vaccinated against the corona virus every second. After a total of around 192,000 doses had been administered the day before, the rate of fully vaccinated citizens rose to 66.4 percent.
This is based on data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Wednesday (as of 9.22 a.m.). For those over 60, the rate is now 85.1 percent, for younger adults aged 18 to 59 it is 72.6 percent, and for those aged 12 to 17 it is 40.6 percent.
No vaccine has yet been approved for children up to the age of eleven. According to previous information, the professional association of paediatricians does not expect the vaccine from Biontech / Pfizer to be approved by the EU drug authority EMA until mid-November at the earliest.
The RKI assumes that more people among adults are probably 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. Currently it is officially 76.9 percent for adults who have been vaccinated at least twice. dpa
