In the coming week, the social authority in Hamburg wants to start calling for the next vaccination group. Over 75-year-olds will then presumably be contacted by age group.
Initially, the offers for those eligible for vaccination in the so-called second priority group should go out gradually, as Social Senator Melanie Leonhard (SPD) said. In the meantime, of course, the vaccinations in the first priority group continue. The problem: In the second round, many more people are eligible for vaccination than now. The social welfare authorities therefore want to invite older Hamburgers by year – first the 79-year-olds, then the 78-year-olds and so on. However, it still has to be clarified whether this is legally possible.
Are teachers and educators there too?
It is also still unclear whether the large group of previously ill persons who are then entitled to vaccination can be invited directly to the vaccination by the health insurance companies. The authority itself does not have the relevant data. It is not until Monday that the federal and state health ministers will make a final decision as to whether teachers will also have their turn in the second vaccination group.
