Vaccination groups
The vaccine is planned to be distributed in four priority groups.[6]
Vaccination group 1
The first priority group received their first vaccination on 26 December 2020. Everyone ages 80 and above, residents & caretakers of senior residents and high risk medical personnel are included in this group.
Vaccination group 2
This group consists of everyone ages 70 to 79, people with high risk preexisting conditions or down syndrome or psychologically impaired and their caretakers, caretakers of pregnant women, and other medical personnel not included in group 1.
Vaccination group 3
Group 3 consists of everyone ages 60 to 69, people with moderate preexisting conditions and their caretakers, employees of the government, shops, and vital infrastructure, and teachers.
Vaccination group 4
Everyone under the ages of 60, but at least 16 years old, who are not included in the above vaccination group will be the last to get inoculation once most members of the top three priority groups receive their first dose. At a press conference on 26 April 2021, chancellor Angela Merkel promised to remove the prioritization by June.[7] However, the states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Berlin decided to enable this group to also get vaccinated through a doctor's office starting on Monday, 17 May 2021.[8][9][10]
Statistics
Vaccination figures were obtained from the RKI, updated every business day and correspond to progress on the previous day.[11] Starting from April, inoculations can also be administered at a doctor's office alongside the existing vaccination center and mobile teams.[12] A first dose is described as a person who received one of two required COVID-19 vaccine doses, while a full dose stands for a person who completed the vaccination process with the prescribed doses.
