On the North Frisian islands and the Halligen as well as on Helgoland, people should be able to get vaccinated on site in the coming weeks.
Mobile vaccination teams should also be sent to the smaller islands and Halligen by March at the latest in order to be able to vaccinate the islanders who fall into vaccination category one. Fixed vaccination stations are planned on the larger islands, and local doctors are also to be involved. On Tuesday evening, representatives of the island and Hallig conference, the district, the state and the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians agreed on this procedure.

How many doses are needed?
However, before vaccination can take place at all, the number of vaccination doses required for the islands and halligen must first be determined. That should happen in the coming weeks, announced the chairman of the island and Hallig conference, Manfred Ueckermann. Fixed, central vaccination dates should only be set as soon as it is clear how much vaccine is actually available in Schleswig-Holstein.
