When will I finally be vaccinated?

This question now worries many district residents.

The biggest problem: there is a lack of vaccine.

Almost everyone knows someone of the same age or the same priority level who has already received an invitation from the vaccination center while they are still waiting for it.

And while one was lucky with his family doctor, the other ended up at the bottom of the now long waiting list.

The problem: the amount of vaccine is no longer.

When that will change, District Administrator Christoph Göbel (CSU) did not dare to predict at a press conference on Thursday.

"We have no influence on the amount of vaccine delivery." The distribution to the districts is based on the respective number of inhabitants.

“In any case, everything we get will be vaccinated.

Nothing is left behind. "

10 332 vaccination doses for first and second vaccinations

This week the district received 10,332 vaccination doses for first and second vaccinations. Next week there will be 9720. By Thursday, 156,698 vaccinations had taken place since the beginning, 24,039 of them in the past week. 121 811 citizens have now been vaccinated, of which 34 887 have full vaccination protection. 37 353 vaccinations were given by general practitioners. The district has around 350,000 inhabitants.

According to Göbel, you are already in the middle of prioritization group three in the vaccination centers.

“Vaccination is already being carried out diligently here.” Even if there are still people in prioritization group 2.

According to Göbel, these are significantly fewer after the special vaccination dates between Mother's Day and Father's Day.

In addition, one does not know how many who are still registered in this group may have already received a vaccination from their family doctor, but have not deleted their Bayimco account.

38,000 citizens registered in priority 3 group

In priority group three, around 38,000 district residents have registered via the vaccination portal. It is unclear how many will soon receive an invitation to their first vaccination. Because: In the next two to three weeks, the vaccination centers will primarily have to carry out second vaccinations. In order to accelerate the pace, Göbel wants to attract even more doctors to vaccinate. "The more doctors order vaccine, the more can be vaccinated." With the elimination of prioritization in doctors' offices from next week, he hopes "that even more people will participate". Meanwhile, some GPs are annoyed because they would like to vaccinate but hardly get any vaccine (see box).

According to Göbel, the corona infection process is relatively stable. Three confirmed cases of the South African variant have appeared in a company in the district, but the situation is under control. The software changeover in the district office has also been "largely problem-free" so far, which is why reliable figures can be expected.
