Corona vaccinations for the second priority group begin

Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) – On the next two weekends, medical staff of the so-called second prioritization group can get a corona vaccination in all 28 vaccination centers in Hesse. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, these are, for example, doctors with regular patient contact who are exposed to an increased risk of corona infection, as well as staff from the blood and plasma donation services and in Sars-CoV-2 test centers or people who are inpatient or outpatient with mental health or mentally disabled people work. Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) and Social Affairs Minister Kai Klose (Greens) want to explain the next steps of the corona vaccinations this Tuesday.

Around 229,000 Hessians in the first group – for example, all people older than 80 years – had already received their first vaccination and more than 109,000 the second vaccination against the corona virus, the Ministry of the Interior announced on Monday. In the old people’s and nursing homes, around 81 percent of those affected were vaccinated for the first time. Because the country has more vaccine available thanks to further deliveries, around 75,000 citizens with an appointment for the first vaccination after March 22nd were able to rebook it. About 41,000 people made use of this.
