Digital vaccination pass: Vaccination centers and pharmacists in Tölzer Land lack information

The digital vaccination certificate has been available since Thursday - at least in theory.

In practice, the vaccination centers in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district and pharmacists lack information on how to proceed.

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen - It is like it was often in the past few months: Health Minister Jens Spahn announces an innovation.

The information on how the whole thing should be implemented has not yet arrived at the base.

The latest example: the introduction of the digital vaccination certificate.

The starting shot was on Thursday.

The "CovPass" is to be made available to fully vaccinated persons step by step.

And the emphasis is on: gradually.

In the two vaccination centers there are “a brutal number of inquiries” about how to get the evidence

"People have been running into us in the vaccination centers since Thursday," says Sabine Schmid, press spokeswoman for the district office.

There are "brutally many inquiries" from people who want to know how to get the evidence.

The problem: "We only know what's in the newspaper," says Schmid.

“So we still have to ask for patience.” This applies to people who have already had their second vaccination behind them.

If you still have it in front of you and "bring the note from the first vaccination, the whole thing works in the Corona-Warnapp", says Michael Heigl from the press office.

There is also a lack of official information in the pharmacies

Also at Andreas Heinrich, owner of the St. Jakobus pharmacy in Lenggries and the spa pharmacy in Bad Tölz, “the phones ring all day”, as he says.

Customers ask if he can issue the digital vaccination certificate.

Finally it was published that this would be possible in pharmacies.

But Heinrich also says: "I have not yet received any information from the official side."

But he himself put on a night shift to come up with a concept "that I think we can work with," he says.

He is therefore convinced: "Personally, I would be ready to go with my two pharmacies on Monday." The necessary EU platform has not yet been activated.
