The County Vaccination Center is changing hours to Monday, October 3.

Then the vaccination center in Hausham, Alte Miesbacher Straße 11, will be open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. until further notice.

As reported, the vaccination center had extended its opening hours to Monday to Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The reason was the delivery of the new vaccines adapted to the Omicron variants.

However, as the district office informed our newspaper when asked, the general demand due to the new vaccines has only increased slightly and can therefore be covered within the scope of the previous opening hours.

Current numbers

The general practitioners in the district carried out 162 vaccinations in the past week.

At the vaccination center there were 137, with demand for the BA4/5 vaccine being by far the largest.

Demand has thus increased by around a third compared to the weeks before the new vaccine became available.

Special case nursing homes

However, the care facilities in the district are not included in this list.

They will be visited and cared for separately.

What is certain, however, is that demand there has been greater so far.

Exact figures are not yet available to the district office.

Vaccination center and general practitioners advise

In addition, the district office refers to the recommendation of the Standing Vaccination Commission.

This still considers basic immunization to be useful and recommends booster vaccinations for certain groups such as people over 60 years of age or people with previous illnesses.

In addition, the vaccination center and general practitioners provide advice on individual vaccination decisions.
