The wait for the corona vaccinations continues.

So far, only 2,900 people have received the vaccine in nursing homes in Munich.

And because there are still too few doses, according to the health department, mass vaccinations in Riem will not start until the end of January or the beginning of February.

Annemarie Huber waits almost longingly.

“I could then move around more freely and meet other people in the café,” says the 82-year-old.

Huber lives in a house owned by the Münchenstift on Tauernstrasse and would like to be vaccinated against Corona.

But like so many others, the elderly woman has to be patient.

"We have been ready since the end of December," says Barbara Haßlberger, pandemic officer of the Münchenstift for the house on Tauernstrasse.

The contact to the outpatient department charged with the vaccination came relatively quickly.

“But we are waiting for an appointment until today.

The ambulance informed us that there is currently no vaccine. "

In Munich's homes, only 2900 people had been vaccinated by Thursday.

The health department informs our newspaper about this on request.

And that, although the number of infected people continues to rise: The city reported 380 new corona cases and nine more deaths on Thursday.

The seven-day incidence was 130.2.

"In addition to the vaccinations by the city vaccination teams, the hospitals have also started to vaccinate medical staff in intensive care units and in emergency rooms," says a spokeswoman for the health department.

When inpatient vaccinations can be started at Messe Riem depends on when sufficient vaccine is available.

The next delivery of vaccination doses is expected these days.

These vaccine doses will continue to be sent to care facilities and clinics.

According to the current status, the mass vaccinations of the rest of the population in the Riem exhibition center can be expected at the end of January or beginning of February at the earliest.

"An earlier start of vaccination would be possible if more vaccination doses are delivered."

Just a few days ago, the city had sent letters to around 87,000 residents of Munich who are over 80 years old, informing them of this fact.

This group is to receive the vaccine first.

Christine Cervelli is also looking forward to the moment.

The 79-year-old lives in the Horst Salzmann Center of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt.

“I've been waiting for 14 days,” says the pensioner.

The vaccination would be so important.

“I would then be able to move around more freely and meet my relatives again.” She is currently not receiving any visitors.

The vaccination means a piece of security.

“Not just for me, but also for others,” says the 79-year-old.

"At our age you also have to think for the next generation."
