The delivery of corona vaccines promised for Friday does not arrive, which annoys the Munich OB.
But the ministry contradicts the city.
In
Munich
, Mayor Dieter Reiter * vented his anger about the lack of vaccine deliveries.
Is the mayor wrongly angry with the state government?
The
Ministry of Health
gives its opinion.
Accordingly, the originally agreed
contingent was
delivered to the city as planned.
Munich - The vaccination start continues to stutter tremendously.
Also in Munich.
Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) complained on Friday that the vaccine was being delivered “chaotic”.
Contrary to the Free State's announcement that it will now regularly
supply
the local centers with
corona vaccine
twice a week
, the city did not receive the 3500 vaccine doses promised for Friday.
This means that only the necessary second vaccination of the Munich residents who have already been vaccinated can take place over the weekend.
Munich: vaccine breakdown triggered by the Free State?
Ministry of Health defends itself
A spokesman for the
Ministry
of
Health
promptly contradicted the city's representation.
“The state capital Munich had known since January 5th, through a notification from the government of Upper Bavaria, how much vaccine they could expect in the week from January 8th 2021.
From January 8, the state capital of Munich was then aware of the delivery quantities and modalities.
According to the announcement, the vaccine was delivered in full. ”The spokesman added that the amount of vaccine delivered to Bavaria was limited - but the responsibility passed on to the federal government and the EU Commission.
In all, the city received 12,800 doses of vaccine in just under three weeks.
Measured against the population of 1.56 million, so far only around 0.8 percent of the population has been immunized.
Reiter immediately got
in touch
with
Prime Minister Markus Söder
(CSU)
on Friday
and expressed his displeasure in an unusually drastic manner: "These chaotic conditions must be ended immediately," he demands.
One can only revile what is made available.
According to the city, it is still unclear
when in Munich * inpatient vaccinations can be started in the specially set up
vaccination center at the Riem exhibition grounds
.
So far it was assumed that a start should be possible in late January / early February.
In Munich, in the first priority level, the approximately 30,000 residents and employees in homes for the elderly and the disabled as well as the staff of the clinics are vaccinated by mobile teams.
Outpatient care services and emergency services also belong to this group.
Then it is the turn of the older citizens over 80 years - about 80,000 people.
You are or have already been contacted by the city.
Their vaccination should take place in Riem.
Corona vaccination has been available in the EU since the end of December 2020.
