The general practitioners are in the starting blocks and are highly motivated: Vaccinations could start in the practices as early as April 1st.
Freising - A number of doctors are already active in the vaccination center in the Stein barracks.
But soon more vaccine should arrive and the action should be placed on a broader basis.
As early as April 1, vaccinations could be carried out in several practices in the district, reported the chairman of the medical district association, Georg Miedl, in an FT interview.
Preparations are in full swing.
Miedl sees a bright light - at the end of the dark corona tunnel.
People's hopes that everyone will have had a vaccination offer by late summer are based on more vaccine - and on the fact that the general practitioners go along with them. Is that also safe?
Absolutely.
The willingness to participate is very high among the colleagues.
It is guaranteed not to fail.
Together with the vaccination center in the background, we are already busy preparing.
Numerous colleagues are already working at the vaccination center.
Some have already vaccinated their employees in the practices.
Now the opening of the practices for the vaccination campaign is being prepared.

How can you imagine that?
First of all, it must be ensured that the practices are connected to the vaccination center via the software used.
We have already tested that.
That works.
So if a patient is vaccinated in the practice, this is reported to the vaccination center and the registration there is deleted.
Then comes the next one - and the vaccination rate increases.
That is our big goal: the number of strokes should be increased.
So are you ready to go?
There is an announced date from which the vaccinations in the practices could start.
This is April 1st.
But it may also work out earlier.
Who decides whether someone is vaccinated in the practice or in the vaccination center?
If a citizen's family doctor takes part in the vaccination campaign and he also has the vaccine, his patients can be vaccinated in the practice.
You will of course have to announce it there.
Otherwise the doctor won't know who wants to be vaccinated from him.
Vaccination is then carried out exactly according to the given priority list.
Then I won't get an earlier turn if I've been with the same general practitioner for 20 years?
No, the order is clearly regulated and absolutely binding.
The priority groups count.
So far there have always been seven practices that are participating. So is it already clear who will participate?
That was probably a bit misleading.
We only initially reported seven practices in order to be able to test whether this works.
That was a field test to find out how to organize the whole thing.
In the future, every general practitioner in the district will be able to vaccinate.
In
practice, however, it needs enough space, and you still have to accommodate it in terms of time.
.
.
A sticking point will certainly be the time factor, because most family doctors are already working on the attack.
So it is a matter of integrating the vaccination into the running practice or planning extra time for it.
That is a challenge, because many doctors are already working in the vaccination center.
But the motivation is excellent, and our goal - successfully fighting the pandemic - is paramount.
Every single vaccination helps fight the virus.
Every single stitch reduces the spread.
Now it is a matter of vaccinating really across the board.
But not every vaccine is equally popular. . .
The vaccine from AstraZeneca is vaccinated here in the district just like the others.
Some discomfort has arisen from the fact that scientific numbers have been simplified and misinterpreted.
But AstraZeneca, like the other vaccines, is highly effective.
After the first vaccination, it offers even greater protection than the Biontech product.
Everything that is inoculated provides very reliable protection and, above all, prevents serious and fatal courses.
And all vaccines offer a high level of protection even after the first vaccination, so that I can already see light at the end of the tunnel.
People are also slowly coming to the end of their tether. Do you think that we can lead a largely normal life again in the summer?
Please all get yourself vaccinated - then I am very confident.
