They are still vaccinated in the homes

It is not yet foreseeable when the first Dortmund seniors will be vaccinated against the corona virus in the Phoenix-West vaccination center. “At the moment we are still vaccinating in retirement homes,” reports Jana Elbert from the Westphalia-Lippe Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. She does not assume that the first vaccination street in the Warsteiner Music Hall will open this week.
Even if television is already promoting the appointment of a vaccination under the number 116117, the spokeswoman for the KVWL asks: “Please do not call yet.”

Number not yet activated

Only when senior citizens and employees in homes have been vaccinated and enough vaccine is available will the telephone number be activated for making appointments. At the moment, callers who want to arrange a vaccination appointment are blocking the medical on-call service.
