First vaccine for 100,000 people
Vaccinations are expected to begin in December. According to Schröder, the country initially expects a delivery of 200,000 doses of vaccine. Since two vaccines are usually part of one immunization, 100,000 people could benefit in the first round. Vaccines will be temporarily stored in two central locations. These warehouses and transports are specially protected.
Order still open
The order in which risk groups will be vaccinated has not yet been finally determined. This is related, among other things, to how much of what vaccine is available and when, Schröder said. The population must be able to register for a vaccination online and by phone in a central appointment system. According to Schröder, certain criteria are questioned for risk groups to receive a vaccine first. When the vaccination teams vaccinate the residents of the retirement homes, the staff there should also receive vaccinations. The clinics have announced that they will take care of vaccinating their employees, the deputy head of the crisis team said.
Sustainable relaxation only if you are ready to vaccinate
“I hope that we will have a great demand at the beginning of the vaccination campaign,” said Schröder. To achieve immunity, at least 80 percent of people should get vaccinated. For this reason, an awareness campaign is planned by the federal and state governments. In order to relax the crown’s restrictions in the long term, they would have to Schröder emphasized that significantly more than half of the people were vaccinated.
