In Pforzheim, volunteers can now be vaccinated without registering. Where? In the parking lot of a supermarket. The action was initiated by family doctor Nicola Buhlinger-Göpfarth. The vaccine is inoculated by AstraZeneca, which many do not want and which is available in no small amount, she explains to the SWR. In cooperation with two other colleagues and the local DRK group, the doctor wants to inoculate around 700 doses today. However, those willing to vaccinate must belong to the current prioritization. However, if there is any vaccine left over, non-prioritized people could be vaccinated.

The German Association of General Practitioners is demanding legal certainty for doctors when using the seventh Biontech vaccine dose. “It cannot be that vaccination doses are thrown away every day in Germany,” said association boss Ulrich Weigeldt to the newspapers of the Funke media group on Wednesday. It is unacceptable "that general practitioners, who give everything in the fight against this pandemic and vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible with the available vaccine, risk one leg in prison".

The SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach supported the demand of the family doctors' association.

Only six doses per ampoule are permitted for the Biontech vaccine.

Using the seventh dose is not forbidden, but not legally guaranteed.

“We have to give doctors nationwide legal certainty to use the seventh dose,” Lauterbach told the newspapers of the Funke media group.

“The state has to assume the liability risk”.
