As of Wednesday, 64.5 percent of the German population were fully vaccinated, while 68.3 percent had been given at least one jab. The number of people getting vaccinated daily in Germany has been dropping consistently since July, but the goverment believes that many of those who haven’t yet got vaccinated simply need more convincing. “There’s a small group of hardliners who will never get vaccinated – we knew that before, that’s not a new thing,” said vaccines expert Mertens. I’m an optimist, and I still believe that it’s our job to convince these people. “Looking at the north-west of the country, states like Bremen show that those high vaccination rates are possible nationwide,” he said.
