The district of Starnberg expects the delivery of 10,000 Biontech cans for child vaccination today.

Saturday is the first major vaccination day in Herrsching.

Questions and answers.

District - In the Starnberg district, the corona vaccinations for children between the ages of five and eleven will start this week.

"I ask all parents to accept the offer for their children," said District Administrator Stefan Frey on Tuesday in a press release.

Last week, the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) issued a vaccination recommendation for children of this age who either suffer from previous illnesses or who are close to people who are at high risk for a severe course of Covid-19 who are not or only insufficiently due to an infection can be protected.

However, all other five to eleven year olds can also be vaccinated.

How the child vaccination works - the Starnberger Merkur answers the most important questions.

How many children between the ages of five and eleven live in the district?

The age group includes 9500 girls and boys, which makes up about seven percent of the total population.

Children are currently infected with Corona particularly often.

The seven-day incidence of those aged 14 and under was 639.8 on Tuesday.

Around every third new infection currently affects a child.

How much vaccine is available?

According to spokesman Stefan Diebl, the district office expects 10,000 doses (i.e. for 5000 children because of the factored second vaccination) of the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty (10 micrograms) from Biontech only for the vaccination center, which are to be delivered today.

This is a vaccine for first and second vaccination.

In addition, there are vaccinations in the pediatrician practices, which are also due to start this week.

According to the medical coordinator Dr.

Bernhard Junge-Hülsing, doctors can order 30 cans at a start.

"I have feedback from more than half of the practices that they are vaccinating," he said.

When and where do you vaccinate?

The branch of the vaccination center of the district in Herrsching (Gewerbestrasse 5) has initially reserved five days for child vaccinations: Saturday (December 18), Sunday (December 19), Tuesday (December 21), Wednesday (December 22) and Tuesday ( December 28), from 10 a.m. to 4.45 p.m.

“We chose Herrsching because it is the branch office that is the most spacious and also the friendliest of the premises,” explains Diebl.

The district expects 110 vaccinations per day there.

Family vaccination days are planned for January.

How do I get an appointment?

So far only via the BRK hotline at z (0 81 51) 26 02 26 02 (Monday to Saturday from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

According to the district, it is not yet possible for children to make an appointment via the BayImco Internet portal.

What to bring and how does the vaccination work in the vaccination center?

Parents must bring the vaccination certificate, official identification papers of the children and the declaration of consent signed by at least one legal guardian as well as their official identification document.

The declaration of consent and the information sheet can be downloaded from www.impfzentrum-sta.de in the “Forms” area.

Parents are asked to bring the explanation with the anamnesis to the appointment as far as possible.

At least one pediatrician will be present in addition to the other doctors.

Three paediatricians have even announced themselves for the first day.

The appointment for the second vaccination will be arranged immediately afterwards.

It should be carried out every three weeks.

What else do parents need to know?

The BRK starts a painting campaign on the subject of vaccinations.

"I am happy about every picture that is being painted, especially now in the Advent season," explains BRK district manager Jan Lang.

“This makes our vaccination center a little more colorful.

And it's a good thing for the children too, because they'll deal with the vaccination in advance. ”The pictures can simply be brought with you to the vaccination appointment.

What about the pediatrician practices in the district?

Actually, the delivery of the Biontech vaccine, which pediatricians get through pharmacies, was announced for Tuesday afternoon.

According to the medical coordinator Junge-Hülsing, it will be Wednesday or Thursday.

He was “negatively surprised” that the practices cannot yet order the vaccine on a weekly basis.

The 30 doses per practice are "extremely few".

His ENT practice in Starnberg alone has around 80 requests for child vaccinations.

So there will be scheduled and, for the time being, no "spontaneous vaccinations".

Junge-Hülsing emphasizes: “Everything will be inoculated and nothing saved by the end of the year.” In three weeks, at the beginning of the year, the paediatricians should be able to place the next orders.
