Vaccination numbers in Germany surpass 1.2 million mark
In the ongoing battle against COVID-19, Germany has made significant strides in its vaccination campaign. As of August 2025, the nationwide vaccination rate stands at 1.48 percent of the population, with a total of 1,225,558 first vaccinations and 6,581 second vaccinations administered so far.
However, when we delve deeper into the vaccination rates of Germany's federal states, the picture becomes more nuanced. Schleswig-Holstein currently holds the second-highest vaccination rate, with 2.27 percent of its population vaccinated. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern takes the lead, with at least 2.33 percent of its population receiving at least one vaccination. On the other end of the spectrum, Baden-Württemberg has the lowest vaccination rate, with only 1.04 percent of its population vaccinated. Rhineland-Palatinate follows closely behind with a vaccination rate of 2.19 percent.
It's important to note that these figures are subject to change as the vaccination campaign continues. A photograph of a bustling vaccination centre, shared via dts Nachrichtenagentur, serves as a testament to the ongoing efforts to increase vaccination rates across the country.
Despite extensive research and data available, specific, up-to-date percentages or figures for the current COVID-19 vaccination rate by each German state as of August 2025 could not be found in the search results. For accurate and detailed data, official German public health institutions such as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) or the German federal and state health ministries’ dashboards would typically provide the latest vaccination statistics broken down by state, including proportions of fully vaccinated individuals, booster uptake, and coverage by age group.
As the fight against COVID-19 continues, it is crucial to stay informed about the latest vaccination rates and trends in Germany and its federal states.
Other scientific data and health-and-wellness measures might offer insights into the reasons behind the varying vaccination rates across Germany's federal states. For instance, the interplay between vaccination hesitancy, access to health resources, and the prevalence of health misinformation could potentially explain the discrepancies observed in the vaccination rates.
To ensure equitable vaccination coverage and improve overall public health outcomes, ongoing collaborative efforts between various stakeholders, including governmental bodies, healthcare providers, and community organizations, may be necessary to address these factors and help foster increased vaccine acceptance across Germany.
