In Bern, people aged 65 to 74 can also get vaccinated

The canton of Bern will continuously activate 90,000 vaccination appointments over the next few days. This means that 45,000 people can register for a first and a second appointment.

As of now, in addition to the previously approved groups, people between the ages of 65 and 74 are now also approved for vaccination (group C), the Bern Health Department announced. Vaccination groups A (75 years and older) and B (people with higher risk chronic diseases without age restriction), which were previously approved for vaccination, will continue to be approved for vaccination. People in vaccination group B must be able to show a medical certificate at the vaccination appointment if they are under 65 years of age.
