Is this the long-awaited advance in corona vaccines? As soon as sufficient vaccine is available, pharmacies in the canton of Zurich should also be able to administer the Covid vaccine. The governing council has created the necessary legal basis for this.
Consequently, the governing council has expanded the list of vaccines that can be administered in pharmacies, which was established in an ordinance, as announced on Friday. In order to achieve the highest possible vaccination quota, we want access to vaccination to be as easy as possible for the population, the deputy doctor of the canton Bettina Bally is quoted in the message.
Pharmacies, vaccination centers and general practitioners
According to the current state of planning, vaccination in pharmacies should be possible during the second quarter of the year. Vaccination will also be offered in the eleven vaccination centers of the canton and in the offices of general practitioners.
“Now it just depends on the vaccine available,” Patrick Borer, a spokesman for the Zurich health department, tells VIEW. “Vaccines are still lacking and vaccines are not yet possible in pharmacies. In addition, the governing council requires an amendment to the ordinance. This is currently being implemented, ”he continues.
“We look forward to the 2nd quarter”
Vaccines in pharmacies would begin “as soon as there is enough vaccine available for the general population. We hope that this will be the case in the 2nd quarter of 2021, “said the spokesman for the health department to BLICK (SDA / pbe / gnc)
