Many elderly people want to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
But sometimes there is still a problem with the registration.
Günter and Agnes Fürch from Groebenzell failed because they have the same e-mail address.
Groebenzell
- It was clear to the pensioners that they would be vaccinated.
“Even if there are side effects, they are definitely not as bad as corona disease.
We had a corona case in the family, which he caught badly and which has damage to the lungs, ”explains Agnes Fürch.
The couple are 80 and 79 years old, have previous illnesses and wanted to register via the website www.impfzentren.bayern in order to get an appointment as soon as possible.
The two of them consider online registration to be a good thing.
“It's actually a great opportunity.
You sign up and it's done.
When it is our turn, we will get an appointment at the vaccination center, ”says Günter Fürch.
Unexpected problems occurred with registration
Registration also worked smoothly for him.
He signed up with his email address, entered his details and received confirmation that he was registered.
“Everything is wonderful,” he says.
But when he tried to register his wife, he received an error message stating that the email address entered already existed.
Reason: The couple only has one email account together.
“It only works if you register with a new address.
But why should I do that, only to then use it once to register at the vaccination center, ”asks Günter Fürch.
A spokesman for the Bavarian Ministry of Health confirms this regulation: "The security of citizens' personal data is of great importance," explains the spokesman.
A so-called two-factor authentication is therefore required to collect sensitive data on the Internet.
One of the factors is the email address, which can only be used once per person.
The second is a cell phone number.
However, this can be used for several people.
Senior complains: "A rubbish to the power of three"
For Fürch this is "a junk to the power of three".
He cannot understand why online registration is made so difficult.
"Now we both have some computer skills, but what do older people who are not that good with computers?" He asks.
The spokesman for the Bavarian Ministry of Health points out that in the event of problems, it is also possible to register by phone either on the nationwide number 116 117 or directly at the regional vaccination center.
The location in Fürstenfeldbruck has recently been available again on (0 81 41) 40 04 50 during the normal opening times of the vaccination center.
Agnes Fürch has already tried it twice over the phone.
Once, after a long wait, the announcement was that the line would only be released when the vaccine is available again.
The second attempt said that none of the lines were currently free.
This is how the registration works
Registration is possible online at www.impfzentren.bayern.
There you get a confirmation and later an email with suggested dates.
Appointments are assigned according to priority.
Citizens without internet access can register by phone on 116 117 or (0 81 41) 40 04 50.
The different types of registration run on a common computer system.
If you are not mobile, you should contact your family doctor.
Nobody should come to the vaccination center without an appointment.
Before the vaccination, the candidates should download the vaccination documents from www.brk-ffb.de and fill them out at home.
This is also possible in the vaccination center.
“But there is a lot to fill out and read through, which is also time-consuming.
This can of course be done better at home in peace, ”explains BRK spokeswoman Anette Menke.
