This data underscores the importance of continued research into long-term health effects and preventative measures.
The Legacy of Vaccination: Where Do We Stand?
While daily reporting has ceased, the impact of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Germany remains significant. As of April 8, 2023, 76.3% of the population (63,493,268 people) were considered “basic immunized,” and 77.9% (64,806,784 people) had received at least one dose. A total of 188,244,457 vaccine doses were administered nationwide. The breakdown of vaccine types used was as follows: Modern (5,143,642), Biontech (46,595,520), AstraZeneca (9,272,833), Janssen (3,711,740), and Novavax (72,005). This widespread vaccination effort undoubtedly played a crucial role in mitigating the severity of the pandemic and bringing us to this point.
