You can only reach a large number of people quickly if you go out and about when vaccinating.
That is why Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to drive multi-track.
Update from April 29th:
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to make faster progress with vaccinations - on Wednesday he expressed ambitious plans.
“The general rule is: we need medical teams who can vaccinate in mobile vaccination stations in supermarkets.
Vaccinations should also be carried out in pharmacies ”(see initial report).
Vaccinations in the supermarket and in pharmacies?
The board of directors of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Bavaria (KVB) has now described these statements as "absurd and not expedient".
From the KVB's point of view, general practitioners' practices and specialists are able to vaccinate quickly and efficiently.
"The prerequisite for this, however, is that politicians and wholesalers finally make enough vaccines available for the practices," says a press release.
The board of the KVB - Dr. Wolfgang Krombholz, Dr. Pedro Schmelz and Dr. Claudia Ritter-Rupp - explained: “In Germany we have an excellently developed outpatient care offering with a high level of area coverage. This is not comparable to other countries in which long distances have to be covered to the nearest doctor's practice or clinic and in which auxiliary structures such as vaccinations in the supermarket can make sense. General practitioners and specialists in private practice in Bavaria are ready to get involved much more in the vaccination campaign than has already been the case in terms of providing comprehensive care for their patients. For this, however, it is essential that they finally receive large and reliably calculable quantities of vaccines from all manufacturers that are approved on the market via the pharmacies. "
Söder presents a new vaccination plan: Corona vaccinations when shopping or before class
First report from April 28th:
Munich - To get out of the corona pandemic * quickly, you have to vaccinate faster.
Politicians of all colors have been preaching this principle for months.
Now that it was decided at the vaccination summit on Monday (April 26th) that the vaccination sequence should fall in June, the much-invoked “vaccination turbo” could then ignite at the latest.
However, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) takes too long.
His plans are ambitious.
Söder relies on mobile vaccination teams and corona vaccinations in the pharmacy
The Bavarian Prime Minister does not want to wait until June to make a vaccination offer * to all guarantors. He wants to get started in May. And then vaccinations will be carried out in Bavaria according to the American or Israeli model. “In general, we need medical teams who can vaccinate in mobile vaccination stations in supermarkets. Vaccinations should also be given in pharmacies. No vaccine * must be left lying around, and things have to happen quickly on site - without long waiting times, ”Söder told the
world
.
You have to be prepared now for the lifting of the vaccination prioritization.
When all prioritized groups of people have been vaccinated, the capacities of the vaccination centers and medical practices would no longer be sufficient.
Therefore, "we have to set up all conceivable structures now for the time when we get more vaccine," says Söder.
You can only meet this challenge if you go broadly.
“The vaccination turbo takes off when we vaccinate faster and more widely.
It is important that we let the prioritization run out earlier and include more groups, ”said Söder.
Söder also wants to carry out corona vaccinations in schools
And Söder also wants to push ahead with the youngest.
“It is also particularly important to involve schoolchildren in order to give young people a perspective for more freedom.
Therefore, we want to offer the graduating classes a vaccination offer in June, ”said the CSU * boss.
Vaccinations in schools should become an integral part of the Bavarian vaccination plan - similar to that in companies or with general practitioners.
Currently only the vaccine from Biontech * is approved for adolescents aged 16 and over.
But studies on the corona vaccination of younger children are already running.
In the summer there could also be a vaccination offer for them.
