Corona vaccination in the tram: vaccination pass instead of a ticket

2021-10-26T14:32:19.341Z


In Frankfurt, the “Impf-Express” rolls through the city. Passengers travel free of charge and arrive at their destination freshly picked. The aim is to reach those who have not yet made up their minds.

"Have a nice day, the vaccination cards, please." On this tram, passengers do not have to show a ticket, but a vaccination certificate and health insurance card.

In Frankfurt am Main, those willing to vaccinate can be immunized against the coronavirus - and take the opportunity to roll around the city a little.

The first passengers willing to vaccinate like the “vaccination express”.

Quotes:

“Because the threshold is pretty low, you get in and get the vaccination.

So you can build that into the day quite well if you take it on.

You don't have to register anywhere and it's done when you want to. "

“I accepted the vaccination offer because I have already been vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson and wanted a booster vaccination.

And it's super practical: you get on the tram, get vaccinated and get off again and go to work as normal. "

Next stop: immunization.

Around 200 doses of Biontech's vaccine could be administered per day per lane.

The staff is also available for consultations.

Claus Schulze-Cleve, Vaccination Doctor:

“You have to organize yourself a little differently and you don't know exactly what is going to happen.

That means: how many people are coming?

We only started today.

What kind of clientele is coming?

So theoretically you have to be prepared for anything. "

Two lines, the IE1 and IE2, run through the city area, from morning to evening.

With the unusual action, the city is trying to boost vaccination readiness in Frankfurt before the winter months could exacerbate the corona situation again.

The seven-day incidence rose to over 110 nationwide on Monday. At the same time, vaccinations are becoming less and less.


Anyone who decides to be immunized in Frankfurt can still sit in the vaccination express for two weeks - and rest assured: the syringe only comes into the arm when the train is at a standstill.
