Hundreds of people were vaccinated against the corona virus in a cowshed near Garrel (Cloppenburg district) on Sunday.
Garrel - Whether in the amusement park or in the football stadium: Corona vaccinations have already been offered in many unusual places.
In the agricultural state of Lower Saxony, vaccinations have now even been carried out in the cowshed: “The campaign has been very well received.
We could have made more appointments, ”said farmer Alexander Looschen, who breeds Wagyu cattle on the farm in the Oldenburg Münsterland.
Municipality in Lower Saxony: | Garrel |
Surface: | 113.2 km² |
Population: | 13,015 (Dec. 31, 2008) |
Mayor: | Thomas Höffmann (SPD) |
During the vaccination, the people came very close to the cattle.
“You could stroke the animals almost right away.” The cattle are used to visitors due to regular events on the farm.

The only vaccine available was Moderna, which is recommended for people over 30 years of age.
It was administered by a pediatrician and his practice team.
Looschen's wife is also a doctor.
According to the farmer, the couple had been disappointed by the faltering vaccination campaign in early December.
This is how the idea for vaccinations in the cowshed came about.

Unusual places like this are also needed to move forward with the vaccinations, said the farmer.
In Lower Saxony, vaccinations are now also used in amusement parks or in football stadiums.
According to Looschen, there are not so many additional vaccination offers in rural areas.
But many people wanted to get the booster vaccination before Christmas.
Lower Saxony: Hundreds of people vaccinated in the cowshed - action should be repeated
The farm had already offered a vaccination campaign in the cowshed on the previous weekend in Advent.
According to the information, 300 people were vaccinated while the Wagyu cattle lay in the straw and watched.
The appointments were given so quickly that his family and the pediatrician decided to repeat the action as soon as possible, said Looschen.
That can only do good for the infection situation in Lower Saxony.
After a court overturned the 2G rule in retail, the infection-inhibiting measures had to be limited to an FFP2 mask requirement.
And after Prime Minister Weil had declared warning level 3 for the Christmas rest, that Christmas rest is now on the brink again.
