Now anyone can be vaccinated against Corona who wants to.
The prioritization has been canceled.
At least in theory.
Vaccines are still in short supply in the district.
District
- The head of the vaccination center in Peißenberg, Christian Achmüller, does not have a crystal ball.
How much vaccine he will be delivered can still only be found out a week in advance.
Nevertheless, he dares to make a cautious forecast: “We will not be able to offer first vaccinations for members of priority groups 3 or 4 until the middle / end of the month at the earliest.
If any."
The reason is that the vaccine deliveries to the vaccination center in Peißenberg are still far too low.
"This week, too, we will need most of the almost 3,000 vaccination doses that will be delivered to secure the upcoming second vaccinations," said Achmüller.
Because the vaccination prioritization in the Bavarian vaccination centers still exists, the huge number of calls to the vaccination center has so far not been seen, “but we still have a large number of people from group 1 or 2 who register for a vaccination ".

Otherwise, Achmüller and his colleagues are still puzzling about why there are occasional traffic jams in the vaccination center like last week's Wednesday and Thursday.
“It jammed like crazy for half a day.
I then took a close look at the process, perhaps to change something.
But we didn't do anything differently than usual. Today we have exactly as many vaccination appointments as on the critical days.
But everything runs absolutely smoothly. "
Overriding came too soon, doctors say
Dr. Peter Lidzba, medical coordinator in the district, the lifting of the prioritization. It no longer applies to general practitioners and specialists in Bavaria since mid-May. As Lidzba reports, decisions are still made in the practices based on medical needs - not always to the enthusiasm of those willing to be vaccinated. He can understand the fact that patients are pushing for the prick - after all, it brings some relief. “People had to back off for a long time.” He, too, would like to travel again, go to concerts and have a barbecue evening with lots of friends. “We doctors are human too.” But such individual needs should not take precedence over medical concerns when deciding who to vaccinate first. “We try to be fair.“The lifting of the prioritization has therefore done the practices a disservice. Within a short time, numerous inquiries from patients came in, reports Khadla Steinhoff, who works as a practice manager and medical assistant in Lidzba's practice. “The pressure became huge, there were many discussions and arguments,” Steinhoff describes. Before that, the discussions were easier because the prioritization regulated the sequence of vaccinations. But now many more people are pushing for a quick appointment - Lidzba had a database set up in which those willing to vaccinate can now be entered online.who works as a practice manager and medical assistant in Lidzba's practice. “The pressure became huge, there were many discussions and arguments,” Steinhoff describes.

Many have to be patient.
Because the vaccine is scarce.
Lidzba hears that significantly fewer doses are being delivered than ordered, both from practices and from company doctors, who have been allowed to vaccinate since Monday.
Company doctors hardly get any vaccine
“With all my love, but that's just a political show.” Dr.
Yvonne Gerstlauer.
The Schongau company doctor received only 100 of the 400 vaccine doses she had ordered.
Together with a colleague, she brought together companies from the Schongau area to Marktoberdorf and Kempten regionally and organized company vaccinations. The planning has been going on for weeks, now a large part of the appointments had to be canceled. “There are also shift operations, which was difficult in terms of organization so that the machines never stand still,” says Dr. Gerstlauer on the immense effort that is now - almost - in vain.
"It's unbelievable, it goes by, that is always glossed over by the outside world." At first it was said that company doctors should vaccinate from April or May at the latest, and now everything is pushing itself before the summer break.
The dilemma that the prioritization has now been lifted and adolescents have also been vaccinated since Monday does not make it any better - “that’s also added, but there’s no vaccine”.
In any case, none of this can be made up for, even if some people imagine it to be so easy.
“I depend on six colleagues for vacation and annual planning.
You can't just reschedule the dates for a moment. "
