In Stuttgart, as in the state, the vaccination quota is making very slow progress. Also in comparison to other federal states and major cities in the republic, Baden-Württemberg and the state capital only occupy a moderate position on the list.

Stuttgart – Baden-Wuerttemberg and especially its state capital are still at the lower end of the national comparison when it comes to the rate of fully vaccinated residents. On Thursday this week’s vaccination quota list, the country ranks eleventh with 65.9 percent of people who have already been vaccinated twice. The national average for the 16 federal states at that time was 67.8 percent.
At the top of the ranking was once again the Hanseatic city of Bremen with a vaccination rate of 79.4 percent, ahead of Saarland with 74.2 and Hamburg with 73.3 percent. In the lower places are the states of Saxony (57.6), Brandenburg (61.5) and Thuringia (61.7 percent).
Stuttgart is not doing well
Comparing the German cities in terms of vaccination rates is much more difficult than that of the federal states. There are current figures for the latter, not for the cities, with the exception of the city-states such as Hamburg and Bremen as well as Berlin. However, the available data also make it clear that Stuttgart is not doing particularly well in comparison. In the most recent list for Baden-Württemberg from November 14, the state capital has a rate of fully vaccinated people of 61.6 percent. This value is now likely to be a little higher, as the country has increased from 63.2 to the aforementioned 65.9 percent in this period, but in view of the still manageable number of first and second vaccinations, little is happening here.
Some cities cannot provide a vaccination quota
Stuttgart is likely to slowly move in the direction of the Munich value, which, however, is also not intoxicatingly high. The Bavarian capital had reported a vaccination rate of 63.1 percent at the beginning of the week. Other large cities written to by this editorial team show significantly better figures. The city of Cologne reported a figure of almost 73.5 percent of twice vaccinated residents on Thursday, and Düsseldorf 75.7 percent. However, some cities, such as Frankfurt am Main and Nuremberg, were unable to provide a vaccination quota, either because company doctors and general practitioners do not have to report vaccination activities or because vaccination activities in the cities are not registered by place of residence. In the survey, Dresden in Saxony had a vaccination rate of 56.3 percent.
A high vaccination rate does not automatically mean a low incidence
However, this sequence is not reflected one-to-one in the seven-day incidence. According to the numbers from Thursday, Bremen is actually the enviable bottom in this case with a value of 132.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. But Dresden, with an incidence of 530.4 cases, has been replaced by Munich (694 cases) from the unpleasant top spot despite a noticeably lower vaccination rate. Despite a vaccination rate of 68.4 percent, Berlin has an incidence of 340.7 cases. Behind it was Stuttgart with an incidence of 336.3 (which has now risen to 345.9 cases). Cologne and Hamburg not only have higher vaccination values than many other large cities in the republic, but also lower incidences, the Hanseatic city 158.8 cases, the cathedral city 252.1.
