In the medical practices, the vaccination prioritization has been lifted, in Bavarian vaccination centers it is to remain in place for the time being. In theory, children over twelve can also be vaccinated. The vaccination rate in Bavaria is increasing – the current figures.
Bavaria vaccinates. More than 5 million people in the Free State were fully vaccinated by July 5, according to figures from the Federal Ministry of Health. 7.1 million people have received at least the first dose of a vaccine by then – that means 54 percent of people. However, other federal states have picked up the pace even more: Even in a large federal state like North Rhine-Westphalia, 59 percent of residents have received the first vaccination, in Lower Saxony the rate is 58.
In the meantime, the prioritization has also been completely lifted in Bavaria: both at the doctors and in the vaccination centers, all those who want to be vaccinated can receive an immunization.
Even children from twelve can theoretically get vaccination appointments after the Biontech / Pfizer preparation has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). On June 7, US manufacturer Moderna also applied to the EMA for approval of its corona vaccine for children and adolescents from twelve. It is planned to decide on the US company’s application by the end of July.
A general vaccination recommendation for children from the experts of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) in Germany has not yet been made. She recommends vaccinations against the coronavirus only for 12 to 17 year olds with certain pre-existing conditions.
