The Novavax vaccine is scheduled to arrive in Thuringia later than originally planned.

After delays, the first delivery is expected in Germany at the end of the week, the Thuringian Ministry of Health and the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians of Thuringia (KVT) announced on Monday.

After that, he would have to be brought to Thuringia and distributed to the vaccination centers.

Erfurt – Due to the delayed delivery, the date for the first vaccination, which was initially planned for February 26th, cannot take place.

Vaccination start with Novavax in Thuringia should now not be until next Monday (February 28th).

According to the information, 3,000 of the first 36,000 doses are to go directly to the clinics in the country.

These could offer their employees a vaccination in preparation for the facility-related vaccination requirement.

With the remaining doses, first and second vaccinations could be offered to a total of 16,500 people.

The appointment booking in the Thuringian vaccination portal will be activated as soon as a specific delivery date for the Free State has been set, it said.

When making appointments, preference is therefore given to employees in areas in which the facility-related obligation to vaccinate applies.

They would have to present proof from their employer when they were vaccinated.

Novavax works on a different principle than the mrNA vaccines.

It contains tiny particles of so-called spike proteins generated in the laboratory, to which the organism reacts after the injection by forming antibodies against the corona virus.

With mRNA vaccines, on the other hand, a genetic blueprint for the spike protein is injected, allowing the immune system to build up protection against the virus.
