"The sixth vaccination is here"

24,687 corona cases were reported to the RKI yesterday.

This is the lowest daily value on a business day since December 27, 2021.

In a week-on-week comparison, there is a decrease of 2.5 percent, the nationwide 7-day incidence also falls slightly, from 191 to 190.

However, the incidence is increasing in six of the 16 federal states, and in nine of the 16 it is above the level of the previous week.

The vaccination campaign against the coronavirus continues to falter.

Almost 20 million people in Germany have not yet been vaccinated at all, and with an average of fewer than 500 first vaccinations per day, this number is hardly getting any smaller.

Since the number of fifth and even the number of sex vaccinations is already greater. Both are now reported separately by the RKI.

In total, 704,000 fifth and 81,000 sixth vaccinations have been carried out so far.

On average over the last 7 days, 13,100 fifth and 900 sixth vaccinations were reported.

This part of the vaccination campaign may have already passed its zenith:

The highest daily values ​​so far are a bit behind. There have been 25,700 five vaccinations a day so far, that was on November 10th.

The record for six vaccinations is 4063, it was reached on October 24th, more than a month ago.

It is at least very unusual for the number of deceased to be revised upwards so significantly.
