In the Harz district, where the corona vaccinations started three weeks ago, the second vaccinations have been running since Friday.

The 101-year-old Edith Kwoizalla was the first to receive the second spade in the Krüger senior center in Halberstadt.

She had been the first about three weeks ago.

On Friday, as at the first appointment, Kwoizalla looked a bit excited, but cheerful.

According to the Ministry of Social Affairs, more than 31,700 people have been vaccinated nationwide.

The city of Halle wants to gradually immunize the over 90-year-olds on Monday.

According to home operator Tobias Krüger, all 40 residents in Halberstadt who were ready three weeks ago were vaccinated again.

Another 13 of the 59 residents have now decided to be vaccinated and have now been vaccinated for the first time.

The willingness to vaccinate has increased to a lesser extent among staff.

Ten of around 40 employees took part in the first vaccination.

"It will be more," said Kruger, who had himself vaccinated for the second time.

Care is ultimately a reflection of society.

The early vaccination start in Halberstadt senior center Krüger on Boxing Day had caused a stir nationwide.

On the same day, several clinics had already received the vaccine for their employees.

Only one day later, on December 27th, the vaccinations started nationwide.

Two vaccinations are necessary, because only then should the full effect of the vaccine from the Mainz company Biontech and its US partner Pfizer be guaranteed.

Moderna vaccine has also been administered since Tuesday

A second vaccine from the US manufacturer Moderna has also been administered in Saxony-Anhalt since Tuesday.

A first delivery was made entirely to the two university hospitals in Halle and Magdeburg.

Because the vaccine is still in short supply, the residents of retirement and nursing homes and the staff there are vaccinated first.

For this purpose, mobile vaccination teams have been on the road in all regions for almost three weeks.

Staff in medical facilities, such as hospital emergency rooms, as well as staff who care for Covid-19 patients are also vaccinated.

In addition, some districts and urban districts have already started their prepared vaccination centers.

People aged 80 and over should be vaccinated there.

You need an appointment for this.

In some regions like Magdeburg the start is still imminent because there is not enough vaccine available.

The city of Halle wants to vaccinate people over 90 years of age against the corona virus from Monday.

Registration is required for this.

A total of 135 vaccine doses are available, said Mayor Bernd Wiegand (non-party).

"We are eagerly waiting for the next delivery." As a city spokesman announced, around 2,600 people over 90 years of age live in Halle.

According to its own information, the city has around 240,500 inhabitants.

Up to and including Thursday, 14.5 Covid 19 vaccinations per 1000 inhabitants had been achieved in Saxony-Anhalt;

there were more in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (22.0), Schleswig-Holstein (18.2), Rhineland-Palatinate (15.7) and Bremen (14.9).

The RKI is dependent on reports from the federal states.

In Saxony-Anhalt, 867 new corona infections were reported from Thursday to Friday afternoon.

The Ministry of Social Affairs in Magdeburg announced that 9263 people are currently infected.

Within the last seven days, 266.22 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants were known.

20 coronavirus-related deaths were reported across the country from Thursday to Friday.
