Landsberg - A corona vaccination appointment through the back door?

At least this was the impression given by a Landsberger's Facebook post at the beginning of last week.

In public, the socially committed man in the Munich area expressed his joy on Monday that he had just been vaccinated at the vaccination center (IZ) in Penzing.

A man in his mid-fifties who, according to the vaccination ordinance, would probably not have his turn until summer - how can that be?

Man receives unauthorized corona vaccination: District office speaks of a communication problem

In the district office they speak of a "communication problem" and blame the Johanniter vaccination team for this.

The vaccinated person himself says that he was spontaneously invited to the vaccination.

The process would certainly not have been made public if the Lechstadt resident had not posted his vaccination on Facebook.

We call the contemporary Franz L., who is well known and well connected in Landsberg, because he does not want to be mentioned by name.

"I shouldn't have done with the post," he admits in an interview.

But it doesn’t take long before numerous congratulations and critical comments appear.

High time to delete the post again.

But it was too late by then.

A Landsberg doctor, among others, found the vaccination of a comparatively young man very surprising.

After all, at this point there were certainly enough people in the highest risk group who didn't even have an appointment.

A vaccination without authorization?

The doctor is therefore asking the district authority.

And right from the head of the vaccination center.

In his answer, Peter Rasch asserts that, to the best of his knowledge, there have not yet been any vaccinations of "unauthorized persons", but admits in the next breath: the said case on Monday evening was due to a communication glitch.

A repetition is as good as impossible.

Bayer receives unauthorized vaccination against the coronavirus: what happened?

What happened?

At a press meeting about the vaccination registration form suggested by the mid-fifties, photos of a “real vaccination” should also be taken.

This was not possible with other people who wanted to be vaccinated for reasons of privacy protection, according to district office spokesman Wolfgang Müller, which is why they agreed with the Johanniter vaccination team on a "vaccination without vaccine" for the most "realistic recordings" possible.

Main actor Franz L., supporting actress a medical assistant of the vaccination team.

Rasch says that she “took her assignment very literally” and actually injected a real dose of vaccine, just as she, the actor and the photographer were alone for a few minutes.

IZ manager Peter Rasch and IZ administrative manager Andreas Ortmann were talking to other employees at this point and could therefore no longer intervene.

The culprit is found.

Confusion about corona vaccination in Landsberg: who is to blame for the incident?

Is she to blame?

Or is the woman just a pawn sacrifice?

The latter cannot be ruled out, because the vaccinated person himself describes the process very differently: At the beginning of the press conference, his question about a “real vaccination” was answered with a clear “no”, but at the end when he was about to make his way home , “Someone came out” and called out that “there was another dose” due to a short-term cancellation.

Franz L. didn't have to think twice, a little later he was vaccinated against Corona * and the success was celebrated via Facebook.

Man receives unauthorized corona vaccination: "We very much regret the incident"

"We very much regret the incident," emphasized district office spokesman Müller on request.

After the "unique mistake" (Rasch), the staff had been instructed again about who was allowed to be vaccinated and that necessary documents had to be signed by a doctor before vaccination.

"This means that there shouldn't be any more incidents of this kind in the future." Müller continues: "Of course, no district citizens can benefit from an ad hoc vaccination." Obviously with one exception: Franz L. And he already has an appointment for the second Vaccination, he says, beaming with joy, but no longer wants to post it on Facebook.
