For a long time, many people in Germany looked with envy at the speed of vaccinations in the USA. When it comes to full vaccination protection, the Americans are still clearly ahead – but no longer when it comes to primary vaccinations.
Germany caught up with the USA for the first Corona vaccinations. “The USA got off to a quick start, and today Germany is tied for the first time with initial vaccinations,” wrote Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) on Twitter in the morning.
45.3 million of the around 83 million citizens or 54.5 percent have been vaccinated at least once. The CDC website of the US health department showed a rate of 54.2 percent primary vaccinations on Wednesday. However, the data from the previous day was initially available there.
When looking at the full vaccinations, Germany is still well behind the United States: According to Spahn, 30.3 million people in Germany (36.5 percent) now have full vaccination protection. In the USA, according to the CDC, it is more than 46 percent of the approximately 330 million inhabitants.
The interest in vaccinations in Germany is still unbroken, said a spokesman for the federal government. The daily average is currently 800,000 vaccinations. In view of the Delta variant, Spahn called for people to take advantage of the vaccination offer.
