The first deliveries of the Novavax vaccine are scheduled for the end of February.

In a Bavarian town, the vaccine is initially reserved for a specific group.

Bamberg – At the end of February, the vaccination center in Bamberg (Upper Franconia) will receive the vaccine* from the US manufacturer Novavax.

However, not everyone who wants to can be vaccinated with it.

The district office writes in a press release about the protein vaccine: “This should initially be used for those people who are not yet vaccinated and who are employed in facilities for which vaccination will be compulsory from mid-March.”

This applies to medical practices, hospitals or nursing services, among other things.

In the next few days, it will therefore be surveyed who still wants to be vaccinated with the protein vaccine, the district office continues.

The compulsory vaccination from March applies not only to doctors or nurses, but to all employees, including caretakers and cleaning staff.

Corona in Bavaria - Novavax "quasi a dead vaccine"

The vaccine is scheduled for nationwide delivery on February 21.

It's about 1.75 million cans, of which

14 percent should go to Bavaria , according to

nordbayerrn.de .

Exact dates for a further 3.25 million doses that have been purchased have not yet been set.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) hopes for delivery in February.

Lauterbach explained: The preparation, which is "quasi an inactivated vaccine", should be particularly available to those who prefer this type of vaccination.

He himself could not assess the value for Omikron well.

But he assumes that the vaccine is working well.
