"At the moment, therefore, vaccinations can only take place in the Riem vaccination center."

Frühwein's colleague Wolfgang Ritter does not believe that something will change in the general vaccination start in the practices on April 1st.
But the number of vaccination doses in the practices will decrease: "If a third of the vaccine is lost, we end up with one dose per practice and day ..."
