Mainz (dpa / lrs) - Rhineland-Palatinate is in the starting blocks for the nationwide planned start of the corona vaccinations on December 27th.

According to the Ministry of Health, the first thing to do is to vaccinate people at a very high risk of seriously contracting Covid-19.

Therefore, mobile vaccination teams should first drive to stationary care and integration facilities.

Health Minister Sabine Bätzing-Lichtenthäler (SPD) wants to provide more information about the current status of the vaccination centers, the start of the mobile vaccination teams, the prioritization and the schedule of appointments on Tuesday (3 p.m.).

Also present are the state vaccination coordinator, State Secretary for Health Alexander Wilhelm (SPD), and the chairman of the vaccination ethics committee, Norbert Paul, from the University of Mainz. How many doses of the vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer Rheinland-Pfalz have available for the first batch was initially unclear. What is certain, however, is that it will not be enough for all old and particularly endangered people.
