Hamburg (dpa / lno) - According to the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Hamburg has changed its vaccination strategy: The second dose of vaccine that every vaccinated person should receive after a few weeks is no longer canceled, as KVH CEO Walter Plassmann on Monday on Hamburg 1 television said.
This is regrettable.
"When we start the second vaccination at the end of January, we must hope that we will have received the new vaccine by then."
According to a decision by the federal and state governments, all 80-year-olds in the nursing and old people's homes should be vaccinated by mid-February, said Plassmann.
“This meant that we in Hamburg had to significantly revise our vaccination strategy.
With the exception of the 500 vaccinations that we can carry out daily in the vaccination center, we now have to vaccinate all other doses in the homes. "
In Hamburg, the vaccinations continued over the weekend.
According to figures published by the Robert Koch Institute on Monday, more than 2,800 other people have been vaccinated since Friday.
Up to and including Sunday there were 12 695 vaccinations in the city.

With 6397 most of them were carried out on the basis of an occupational indication - for example with the medical staff of hospitals.
4312 people were vaccinated because of their old age, 3361 were nursing home residents.
With 6.9 vaccinations per 1000 inhabitants, Hamburg ranks tenth among the federal states.
The front runner is still Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (15.6), followed by Saxony (4.9).
