After three weeks with a focus on the second vaccinations, there should actually be first vaccinations again in Bavaria's vaccination centers - but that will probably not work.
It could only work in Munich.
Munich - This week, initial vaccinations against the corona virus * in Bavarian vaccination centers should start again.
At least Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU *) assumed that.
But as a survey by
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR)
shows, it takes even longer - with one exception.
Even after three weeks: Still mainly corona second vaccinations in Bavaria's vaccination centers
On May 19, the CSU politician still gave hope.
At that time he announced: "I assume that - subject to sufficient vaccine supply - we will be able to offer first and second vaccinations again in around three weeks in the vaccination centers." the first vaccinations will continue this week, there is no, as a
BR
survey in several Bavarian vaccination centers has shown.
Because of the scarce vaccine there are only second vaccinations there.
Those responsible on site cannot say for sure when enough vaccine * will be available for initial vaccinations.
Survey shows: Corona initial vaccinations in Bavaria's vaccination centers will probably only be possible towards the end of June
According to the report, some vaccination centers in Swabia do not expect vaccine * for initial vaccinations again until June 21. In Upper Bavarian vaccination centers, the days around June 28 are more likely. In Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate, they apparently do not dare to make an estimate, as the
BR
reports on. Because appointments for the first vaccination are given at short notice - depending on the amount of vaccine delivered. Vaccine comes every week, but not always as planned.
The situation is similar in Franconia.
According to the
BR
, the
Bayreuth health department expects
that there will be no first vaccinations in the next few weeks.
For the second half of June there is still no information about how much vaccine can be delivered.
From the Upper Franconian districts of Kronach and Lichtenfels, it is said that first vaccinations are currently only carried out if people do not attend appointments for second vaccinations.
However, this only happens occasionally.
Almost only second corona vaccinations in Bavaria's vaccination centers - "The vaccine is always the bottleneck"
In
response to a
BR
request, Holetschek emphasized on Tuesday that he had made no promise. All he said was that he hoped to be able to start the first vaccinations again in calendar week 23 - if enough vaccine was available. "That is not the case at the moment, it always depends on the vaccine, the vaccine is always the bottleneck," said Holetschek.
However, one should not only keep an eye on the vaccination centers, as the CSU minister emphasized.
Family and company doctors would also give vaccinations.
In the centers, the focus is currently on the second vaccinations and securing them is more important than ever, "where we also talk about the Delta variant and know that complete vaccination protection is good vaccination protection against it".
Holetschek would like further vaccines to be approved soon.
Bavaria: How do I get a corona vaccination appointment?
Corona: Munich vaccination center wants to carry out first vaccinations again soon
The situation in Munich is different. In the vaccination center there, first vaccinations are to be carried out again from June 14th, as a spokeswoman for the health department announced on
BR
request. This is made possible by a special allocation of the Moderna vaccine *: "The amount of this allocation is not known, but experience has shown that it is low," said the spokeswoman. Dates for first vaccinations with the Biontech vaccine *, however, could not be activated in the vaccination portal in the state capital up to and including June 27th, they say.
The federal government decides which federal state receives how many doses of vaccination according to a population key.
Distribution to the vaccination centers in Bavaria is then carried out by the Ministry of Health.
