Vaccination campaign in Allgäu canceled for the second time - a third is still being planned

Two vaccination campaigns in the Unterallgäu were already more or less ineffective.

Nevertheless, there should be a third special offer.

This time with a different vaccine.

Bad Wörishofen - 1000 Astrazeneca * vaccine doses were ready.

It started on Friday afternoon.

The special vaccination campaign in Bad Wörishofen in the Unterallgäu district * should come to an end on Saturday evening at 10 p.m.

The tents were abandoned earlier, however.

Not the first time.

Corona special vaccination campaign in Unterallgäu: Few people were vaccinated

For the medical coordinator in Unterallgäu, Max Kaplan, it was the second time that he had to cancel a special vaccination campaign. A week earlier it was over on Saturday evening around 11 p.m., Kaplan told the

. Actually, the campaign should run until Sunday. 1800 cans of Astrazeneca were ready. But only 180 people came.

It was similar for him this weekend.

Only 90 people wanted one of the 1000 cans.

In the course of Saturday afternoon not many interested people came, Kaplan told the

.

So at 8 p.m. he locked the doors.

But for him no reason to throw the gun in the grain.

But he found a mistake - which was probably confirmed again by the latest recommendation of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko).

The next vaccination campaign will no longer be with Astrazeneca.

This time he wants to try his luck with the vaccine from Johnson & Johnson *.

Perhaps the demand is higher here, especially during the vacation period, because it only needs to be inoculated once, says Kaplan.

In the Unterallgäu, all registered people could soon be vaccinated

According to Kaplan, there is positive news from the Unterallgäu.

Probably in the next two weeks all people who are registered in the vaccination portal will be vaccinated.

The number of new registrations is only low.

According to the Memmingen vaccination center, 8,585 people are still unvaccinated.

According to estimates, 40 percent of these could have been vaccinated by general practitioners or in the company.

However, it is negative that more and more first vaccination appointments are not accepted for the mRNA vaccines from Biontech * and Moderna *.

Many politicians and experts also worry that more and more people are skipping their vaccination appointments.

There are already considerations to impose sanctions or fines for "vaccinators".
