• A total of 18,800 people are in the first row in the city of Bremen

Preparations for the first corona vaccinations are in full swing in Bremen. It should start on December 27th, from then on the first residents of nursing homes will be vaccinated. As a representative of the Corona crisis team of the state of Bremen announced at the request of buten un, initially around 18,800 people in the city of Bremen will have the opportunity to be vaccinated against the corona virus.

The almost 19,000 people who can be vaccinated first include the approximately 8,200 residents of old people’s and nursing homes, the approximately 6,400 employees in the homes and the approximately 4,200 employees in day care and nursing services.

If there are still the first vaccine doses left, the over 85-year-olds who do not live in care facilities should be vaccinated, according to the crisis team. That is about 10,000 people who are to be invited by mail to be vaccinated as soon as it is certain that enough vaccine is available for this group. This is unlikely to be the case right at the start of the vaccination campaign.

In the beginning only a very small amount of vaccine in Bremen

Next, it will be the turn of the approximately 5,000 hospital employees who work on wards that treat Covid 19 patients. Then it goes on with the over 80-year-olds.

The crisis team expects that the vaccine will be scarce in the first weeks of the vaccination campaign, in Bremen only a very small amount of vaccine is available. “We would like to and we could vaccinate significantly faster, we have built up sufficient capacities. But the delivery of the vaccine is not in our hands.”
