Almost 30.5 million people in Germany have already been vaccinated against Corona at least once. That corresponds to around 36.5 percent. According to the vaccination dashboard in Germany, 10.9 percent of the total population are fully vaccinated. According to the World Health Organization, around 80 percent of people would have to be immunized against corona for herd immunity *. Many people would like to be vaccinated against Corona as soon as possible, but they still have to be patient. The main reason lies mainly in the fact that there was too little vaccine available for a long time.

Even now, the demand still exceeds the vaccine supply

. Experts give tips on how to get closer to the vaccination date more quickly.

Anyone who has a lot of irons in the fire increases the chances of an early vaccination appointment.

Therefore, do not register online at your local vaccination center, but have your doctor put you on the waiting list.

In addition, it has also been possible for specialists to vaccinate against corona since the beginning of May. It is best to find out more about the options for getting vaccinated in his / her practice by phone or email from your gynecologist, orthopedic surgeon, ENT specialist, dermatologist or another treating specialist. One thing is especially important with this procedure: that you let us know immediately when you have had a vaccination appointment. In this way, the family doctor, the vaccination center and / or the specialist can remove you from the waiting list and in this way avoid unnecessary contacts.

Family doctor recommends: "You should do your best to get on a list"

In a few cases, a specialist or family doctor will point out a possible vaccination in his / her practice.

As a rule, however, your own initiative is required.

So RTL quotes the family doctor Dr. Thomas Assmann: "You should make an effort to get on a list." In his practice in the Bergisches Land (North Rhine-Westphalia), only people would be contacted about a vaccination appointment, "who are really actively trying to get a vaccination" .

Involving family doctors in the corona vaccination campaign is an important step, said Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn. Even if there is currently only a limited amount of vaccine available to the practices, they would make an important contribution to further increasing the vaccination rate in Germany. Dr. Andreas Gassen, CEO of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, confirms, according to RTL, that things can sometimes go faster with the family doctor because people who are in the prioritization group in front of you may have long since been vaccinated at the vaccination center.

Even if appointments are canceled, it could be that vaccine doses are left over, which are then vaccinated in medical practices outside of the prioritization
