Saar-SPD general secretary Christian Petry criticized on Friday the ongoing allocation of appointments for corona vaccinations in the small area as an unfair first-come-first-served principle: "First come, first served."
The Saarland Ministry of Health should rethink the procedure for registering.
She creates injustices and annoyance: "Therefore, a quick registration of all people ready to be vaccinated and a subsequent appointment or sequence should take place."
