In order to prevent possible bottlenecks in vaccination capacities in the south-west, the country would like to deploy up to 50 additional mobile vaccination teams if necessary.
The state government agreed on this on Wednesday, as a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health announced in Stuttgart on Thursday.
Stuttgart - The mobile vaccination teams are to support the resident doctors and company doctors and are deployed in addition to the 30 teams that have been in action since the vaccination centers were closed at the end of September.

When it comes to vaccination, Thuringia lags behind in a national comparison
When it comes to vaccination rates, Thuringia ranks at the bottom of the Germany-wide comparison.
In order to win as many unvaccinated people as possible for immunization, vaccinations are now also being offered in adult education centers and community centers.

It has turned out "that there may be bottlenecks in a nationwide vaccination offer by medical practices (...)", it says in the cabinet proposal that has already been passed and which is available to the German Press Agency. Should the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians notify that the vaccinations offered by resident doctors alone are not sufficient, the additional vaccination teams should provide immediate support.
The number of corona vaccinations in Baden-Württemberg has fallen significantly after the vaccination centers were closed, especially compared to the last week of September.
The Ministry of Health also attributes this to the fact that in the last week of September many people wanted to use the low-threshold vaccination offers again.
The fact that the vaccination numbers have now gone down is therefore not unusual, said the spokeswoman.
