Berlin wants to supply the Covid vaccine to about 450,000 people
First the elderly and patients at risk, then health workers and finally the rest: Vaccinated in the German capital from January. The director of the six centers explains exactly how.
They are housed in an ice rink, the exhibition center, a disused airport or a swimming field in the various districts of the 3.7 million metropolises of Berlin: the six corona vaccination centers. Starting in mid-December, vaccination must be done here by the piece.

In this first phase, 900,000 vaccines will be available for Berlin alone, since the two available vaccines must be administered twice every three to four weeks, 450,000 Berliners can be vaccinated against the virus in the first three months. Older and high-risk patients and members of the healthcare staff are likely to receive the vaccine first, as long as they voluntarily consent to the vaccination.

Albrecht Broemme is coordinating the establishment of the six vaccination centers. He estimates that between 3,000 and 4,000 Berliners will be vaccinated per vaccination center per day. “The two vaccinations must be carried out exactly at three or four weeks, depending on the preparation. So we have to give the vaccine to 20,000 people a day to do it in three months, ”says Broemme. The city needs around 300 helpers, including doctors and nurses, per vaccination center.
The process in the centers must be well coordinated, the rooms must be well ventilated so that the vaccination centers do not become critical critical points. Broemme: “It would be worse if people picked up a vaccine and took Corona home.”
An entrance, a route, an exit
To avoid this, Broemme envisions a kind of “Ikea principle”: there is only one entrance, a clear route you cannot get lost on, and there is only one exit. First the entrance control, which measures the temperature of each person. Broemme: “Anyone who has a fever cannot be vaccinated.”

In addition, a check is made at the entrance to see if the respective person has a “vaccination invitation” for the specific time at this specific vaccination center. No companions are allowed, according to Broemme, helpers are available on-site to help the elderly. After entering the building, you can go directly to the 75 vaccination booths per center.
Subsequent vaccinations in normal doctor’s offices
Broemme hopes that the six vaccination centers will operate for three months. After that, it would be enough to keep one or two centers in operation. “The rest of Berlin can be vaccinated in the normal doctor’s office,” says Broemme.
At the beginning of next year, more vaccines can be expected that do not have to be stored at minus 70 degrees like the preparation of Pfizer and Biontech. Up to 70 percent of people would have to be vaccinated to overcome the pandemic, according to Broemme. We want to defeat Corona. That is only possible with a vaccine. “(Aargauerzeitung.ch)
