BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – So far, 1.4 million doses of the latest vaccine Novavax have been delivered to vaccination centers, medical practices or pharmacies for corona vaccinations. The vaccine, which has only been available in Germany since the end of February, only accounts for 0.7 percent of the 197.5 million doses that were delivered during the corona pandemic by the end of last week, according to the Robert Koch Institute ( RKI) announced on Friday. The mRNA vaccines from Biontech (BioNTech (ADRs)) (71 percent) and Moderna (18 percent) have the largest share. 171.7 million doses have actually been administered to date.

A total of 64,000 doses of vaccine were administered on Thursday, 4,000 more than the day before. There are usually a few more late registrations. Record day was December 15, 2021 with 1.7 million doses. The vaccination rate is 75.9 percent. It refers to the basic protection, for which two syringes are usually necessary. An additional 58.4 percent received a booster vaccination (booster), said the RKI (as of 9:08 a.m.) on Friday. 23.5 percent are unvaccinated – with 4.8 percent of people not yet having a vaccine approved because they are four years old or younger./mi/DP/ngu
