Vaccination against Corona: Some countries vaccinate Astrazeneca in people over 60
Following a recommendation from the Standing Vaccination Commission, the federal and state governments decided on Tuesday that the Astrazeneca vaccine should generally only be vaccinated in people over the age of 60.
The background to this is thrombosis, particularly among younger women.
At the same time, the state health ministers decided that people between 60 and 69 can already be vaccinated with Astrazeneca now.
It is not their turn so far, unless they are vaccinated because of a previous illness or a certain function.
Some countries are already preparing the sale to people over 60: In Berlin, registration should start on Maundy Thursday today, in Rhineland-Palatinate next week.
In Berlin, people over 60 who have not yet received vaccination invitations because of a different priority should be able to make an appointment by phone from Thursday, as the Senate Department for Health announced.
Other countries are not taking such a step for the time being.
Before the appointment for the vaccination by the family doctors, Spahn and the Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) find out about the vaccine production plant in Marburg in a video conference (9.45 a.m.) with representatives from Biontech *.
