A number of vaccination centers in Germany will remain closed over the Easter holidays.

For example, the vaccination centers in Brandenburg do not work on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, according to a survey by "Bild" in the federal states.

In Saarland there is generally no vaccination on Sundays.

In Thuringia there is also no vaccination over the holidays, except on Saturday in a vaccination center in Erfurt.

In other federal states, including Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, closings are possible, according to the state governments.

That depends on how much vaccine is available.

In Bremen, Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, however, vaccination continues.

In view of the increasing corona numbers, the German Society for Immunology is demanding that doses for second vaccinations no longer be put back.

"In view of the current situation, putting the vaccine aside is no longer acceptable and costs human life," said Secretary General Carsten Watzl of the "Augsburger Allgemeine".

"It would now help a lot to vaccinate everything that is there and then to do the second vaccination when the later delivery takes place." According to Watzl, the second vaccination dose is still used in many federal states and vaccination centers.

"That means that we often only offend half of what is possible."

SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach also called for a rethink at the weekend.

“If the number of cases continues to rise, you should (...) only have initial vaccinations for 12 weeks.

That would have a dramatic effect on deaths because the first vaccination almost always avoids Covid death.

Important: If only first vaccinations were made in the 2nd quarter, 60 million (!) First vaccinations would be possible.

With this you could prevent a large part of the deaths with maximum use of the general practitioners ", he wrote on" Twitter ".
