Vaccinated almost 2000 people in one day

If that is not a success in the fight against the pandemic: On Saturday's special vaccination day in the Starnberg District Office, more people were vaccinated than expected - it was almost 2000.

Starnberg

- First the district planned with 1000 vaccinations, then with 1500 - and at the end of the special vaccination day shortly after 7 p.m. it was 1930 on Saturday evening. 1715 of them were imped with Biontech / Pizer, the rest with Astrazeneca, said district spokeswoman Barbara Beck on Eve.

Since the district received 10,000 additional doses of vaccine, it will continue at a similar pace from Monday.

Around noon, around 1000 cans had already been inoculated, so the district took more Biontech cans from the warehouse.

At first glance, queues formed at the district office, which had been transformed into a huge vaccination center by around 300 helpers and 60 doctors, but they quickly disappeared again.

There were many registration desks, many options for advice from doctors and many vaccination booths in the form of tents in the boardroom.

Vaccinations were only given by appointment.

In addition, three teams vaccinated bedridden people over 80 at home.

District Administrator Stefan Frey: "Overjoyed"

The cooperation worked smoothly, as spokeswoman Beck emphasized.

District Administrator Stefan Frey was enthusiastic: “Overjoyed.

All hand in hand, around 300 helpers, BRK, DLRG, fire brigades, THW, aid organizations, nurses, nurses, doctors, clinic staff, medical assistants, volunteers, employees of the district office, security guards.

Many thanks to this team, incredibly professional, great atmosphere!

Thank you very much! ”He wrote on Facebook.

As expected, younger people came in the late afternoon in the hope that they might get unused doses for a vaccination.

According to Beck, they had to be sent away.

The BRK vaccination center had already organized the tip provision in advance in such a way that there was no risk of suddenly being unable to get rid of the finished vaccine.

In addition to the almost 2,000 people who were vaccinated - seniors over 80 and over 75 as well as almost 800 teachers and educators - hundreds were also vaccinated in the Gauting and Steinebach vaccination centers.

The exact evaluation is expected for Sunday.

As of Saturday, it is estimated that more than 20,000 people in the district have already been vaccinated at least once.

There are also many from the medical field, as the district has a comparatively large number of hospitals.
