This state is the German booster master – BZ Berlin
Germany wants to break the fourth wave – a long-term means in the fight against Corona: the booster vaccinations.
Minister Jens Spahn (41, CDU) and current Chancellor Angela Merkel (67, CDU) promised the refreshing turbo until the end of the year, calling for up to 27 million booster picks, and soon-to-be Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) is aiming for 30 million. Third pikes on.
But although the pace is picking up, Germany is still behind its targets a month before the New Year: 9.66 million Germans have been vaccinated three times – more than four million when Spahn / Merkel turned on the turbo.
That means: around 5.5 million German citizens received the third spade. In plain language: Around 21 million are still missing – or around 677,000 per day or around 4.7 million per week.

These booster numbers are already achieved on individual days. The previous high point (November 24th, 673,389 boosters) cannot yet be surpassed – on Monday, for example, “only” 422,202 people came to their refreshment.
The German booster master is …
…Berlin!!! According to figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), 14.6 percent of the population have received a third-party vaccination (536,048 people). This is followed by Bremen and Saarland (13.2 percent), North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria (12.5 percent).
At the bottom: Brandenburg (9.6 percent) and Saxony (9.1 percent). Hesse is ahead of that (10.1 percent).
Noticeable: Sachsen-Kretschmer and Hessen-Bouffier (both CDU) moaned at the Corona summit on Tuesday: It needs a federal lockdown! And anyway: a lot more toughness!
Booster vaccination rate 60+
And: In the Free State, the booster rate is also the lowest among the over 60-year-olds, in Saxony only 182 percent of the elderly were third vaccinated.The proportion of Covid patients in intensive care units in the country of Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (46, CDU) is also nationwide highest (39.9 percent).
The hospital incidence is slightly above the national average. Trend: slightly increasing (plus 1.75 percent).
The hospital incidence is the number of hospital admissions per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days – and can therefore provide information about how busy the hospitals in a region are.
3, 6 and 9 – these limit values for the hospital incidence were set by the state leaders and the Federal Chancellery at the previous Corona summit. Means: Whenever one of these limit values is reached in a federal state, new – stronger – Corona rules apply.
In Brandenburg (18.7 percent) and Saxony-Anhalt (19.9 percent) the rates are well below the national average.
At the top there: Berlin (37.2 percent), Bremen (30.9 percent) and Saarland (26.8 percent).
