Vaccine supply changes - Medical professionals receive reduced vaccine allocations - Vaccination distribution grapples with instability - medical professionals encounter reduced vaccine supply
In the first half of 2025, vaccination statistics in Hesse have shown some notable changes. The demand for pneumococcal vaccines has seen a significant increase, with 44,700 more doses ordered compared to the previous year. This trend continues, as a further decrease in pneumococcal vaccine doses is expected for 2025.
On the other hand, the number of influenza vaccine doses ordered for 2025 is expected to be lower than that of 2023, with 91,000 fewer doses. This decrease in demand is reflected in the number of doses administered, with the usual increase in the second half of the year not being as pronounced as in previous years.
A new addition to the vaccination statistics is the monkeypox vaccine. In the first half of 2025, 521 doses of the monkeypox vaccine were ordered. However, no relevant information about the organization or the total number of monkeypox vaccine doses registered in the first half of 2025 was found in the search results.
The monkeypox virus, which is transmitted through close physical contact, has been increasingly reported from West Africa. According to the World Health Organization, the monkeypox virus could also spread unnoticed on other continents. It's important to note that this virus can be mild but can be fatal in small children or people with weakened immune systems.
Vaccines such as cholera, Japanese encephalitis, and yellow fever are at the bottom of the statistics, with less than 100 doses ordered per year in total. These vaccines are mainly relevant for business trips abroad and are only reimbursed by statutory health insurance in individual cases.
Hepatitis B vaccinations saw a slight increase, while the AOK insurance company is involved in the vaccination statistics, but specific details about their role in the monkeypox vaccine are not provided in this paragraph.
In 2024, Hesse's doctors received 2.78 million vaccine doses, a 5.4% decrease from the previous year's 2.94 million. In the first half of 2025, 1.06 million vaccine doses were administered to those insured by statutory health insurance in Hesse.
It's crucial for individuals to stay informed about vaccination trends and to consult with healthcare professionals about the vaccines relevant to their personal circumstances.
