Corona in Germany: vaccination rate apparently not correct – Spahn wants to donate 100 million cans

The corona incidence in Germany continues to rise. According to a media report, there are data gaps in vaccinations. All information in the news ticker.

Update from September 5, 5:01 p.m.: Germany wants to make 100 million vaccine doses available in the international corona vaccination campaign by the end of the year. “That is as much as we have in our country so far,” said Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn on Sunday on the sidelines of the G20 meeting of health ministers in Rome. The goal is to have vaccinated at least 40 percent of the world’s population by the end of the year. The pandemic will only be over when it is over all over the world, said the CDU politician. Otherwise, variants could arise that would then also reach Germany again and lead to problems.

The corona pandemic is a central topic at the two-day meeting of health ministers from the 20 most important industrialized and emerging countries (G20). According to Italy’s Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, Italy is aiming to sign the “Pact of Rome” to vaccinate people around the world.

Update from September 5, 3:25 p.m .: According to a report by the news magazine Spiegel, the number of vaccinations in Germany is significantly higher than expected. Vaccinations from medical practices were not included in the statistics. This emerges from surveys by the statutory health insurance associations in several federal states.

Spiegel: More than 350,000 vaccinations were not reported

In the second quarter, at least 350,000 administered doses were not reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and do not appear in the nationwide vaccination quota. According to the RKI, more than 61 percent of all residents are currently fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Vaccination rate: reporting gap in Bavaria probably the highest

According to Spiegel , such a gap first became known in Hamburg, where around 71,000 vaccinations were not recorded by the end of June. In Bavaria, according to the mirror report on Sunday, the gap is around 150,000, in Baden-Württemberg and Berlin around 50,000 vaccinations each. Saxony’s practices have not reported around 29,000 vaccinations. In Saarland and Brandenburg, on the other hand, 18,000 more vaccinations were reported than actually carried out.

Medical practices record the vaccinations twice: once via a portal of the RKI, on the other hand via their accounting software. When comparing these numbers, the differences became apparent.

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn has meanwhile called on citizens who are still hesitant to take advantage of offers for corona vaccinations as soon as possible. “Now in September we will decide, in Germany and Europe, how safely we can get through autumn and winter,” said the CDU politician on Sunday in Rome on the sidelines of a G20 meeting of health ministers. In order to get through the next few months safely, “another five million vaccinations and more are needed in Germany”. More speed is needed. So far, 50.9 million people or 61.2 percent of the population have been fully vaccinated.

Update from September 5, 3:22 p.m .: The corona situation in Germany is deteriorating. The Netherlands is reacting and tightening the entry rules from Monday (September 6th).

Thuringia: Man attacks mobile vaccination team

Update from September 5, 1:27 p.m .: A man wanted a vaccination certificate without getting vaccinated. When the employees of a mobile vaccination team refused, the situation escalated. A mobile vaccination team was attacked during a corona vaccination campaign in Gera (Thuringia). Two members of the team were injured, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health. According to the dpa news agency, the police confirmed the incident, which occurred on Saturday afternoon in a shopping center.
