Citizens in Hessen have been able to register online for the vaccination against the coronavirus for around a week - at least in theory. In practice, however, the vaccination registration system and the hotlines that were connected collapsed within a very short time. The rush of those willing to vaccinate was too great. It doesn't just affect Hesse. In the Free State of Thuringia, another vaccination registration system had already failed the week before, those responsible brought hackers into the field as an explanation. In Saxony, too, the internet portal for registration stopped repeatedly. In Brandenburg there is no online system at all, just an overloaded telephone hotline. The series can be continued. Several things went wrong when preparing the vaccination campaign. One reason is the wrongly understood local patriotism of the countries.
