Delivery bottlenecks for the corona vaccine are causing a frustrating vaccination start in Freising.

BRK district manager Albert Söhl also has other worries.

  • The corona vaccine only arrives irregularly in the Freising district.

  • That is why the vaccination campaign in the Freising district is hardly gaining momentum despite the existing infrastructure.

  • According to the BRK district manager, there is also a problem with registrations: many are registered multiple times.

District of Freising

- Seniors across Germany who want to register for their corona vaccination via hotlines or online platforms are desperate.

The district of Freising has taken care that this trouble does not exist here, as BRK district manager Albert Söhl says.

The shoe pinches elsewhere.

Mr. Söhl, do you see a large number of senior citizens in the Freising district who fail to register for vaccinations?

Fortunately, things are a little different for us.

For this reason, we deliberately did not process registrations via hotlines or an IT system, because we knew that seniors would have problems with them.

If you are fit enough, you can register by email.

We write to everyone else.

We got the addresses from the residents' registration office.

Our shoe pinches elsewhere.

Where, then?

That we're not getting enough vaccine.

It's frustrating that our infrastructure is in place, everyone rolls up their sleeves - and then the vaccine doesn't come continuously.

We just don't get into a flow.

and have to put off seniors who have already written to you.

We invite the people who have registered at very short notice - whenever the vaccine is available.

We did well with that.

So you haven't had to disappoint anyone yet?

We had to unload four to five people.

But we didn't cause any great resentment.

Others got it worse: They made their appointments earlier and had to unload up to 300 people.

Are you actually getting more emails or more mail?

Much more mail.

And there is a lot of work to do: open letters, fill out documents and, and, and.

In addition, people also register multiple times.

We also have a case where four different family members registered the same person.

After all, a sign that relatives are looking after their seniors.

I like that too.

But it would be nice if they'd better coordinate.

The bureaucratic effort is huge.

Quite a few people from later priority groups are concerned that they may miss the right time to register.

At the moment we are considering writing to the over 70s as well.

In any case, we will inform you in the newspaper when the next group is at the start.

That can take another two to three months.

But nobody is forgotten.

Those who are left out at the moment are bedridden seniors who still live in their own four walls, right?

Yes, because we are not allowed to transport the Biontech vaccine once it has thawed.

We prepared the vaccine on site in the retirement homes.

But we cannot do that in private households.

It is not possible to prepare such small quantities for a single vaccination.
