Abstract

Zusammenfassung Seit Beginn der Corona-Impfkampagne in Deutschland am 27. Dezember 2020 waren knapp drei Monate später 10,5 Mio. Dosen verimpft. Das waren durchschnittlich 126.000 Dosen pro Tag mit steigender Tendenz: Am 15. März 2021 waren es schon mehr als 250.000 täglich. Damit konnten aber erst 3,2 Mio. Personen vollständig immunisiert werden. Um Herdenimmunität zu erreichen, die wegen der hoch infektiösen Mutanten eine Immunisierungsquote der Bevölkerung von etwa 80 % erfordern dürfte, müssten aber gut 65 Mio. Personen mit 130 Mio. Dosen geimpft sein. Beim jetzigen Impftempo würde es noch bis in den Sommer 2022 dauern, um das Immunitätsziel zu erreichen. Kommt es nach dem Impfstoffmangel bald zu einer Knappheit der Impfkapazitäten? Könnte die Herdenimmunität an mangelnder Impfbereitschaft scheitern?
