Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - In numerous hospitals, including the Düsseldorf University Clinic, the corona vaccinations of employees from particularly affected areas began on Monday.

In Düsseldorf, 1200 people will initially be vaccinated who, for example, work in the specially set up Covid-19 wing.

The vaccination readiness within the workforce is high, said a clinic spokesman on Monday.

Within a few days, 4800 employees registered for a vaccination in the online system.

320 employees are to be vaccinated every day at the university clinic in a rapidly built vaccination line until the first delivery of the Moderna vaccine is used up.

In four weeks the second spade is due.

The necessary cans should be delivered on time.

Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) said on Monday morning that the corona vaccinations that are now starting in hospitals will affect around 100,000 people across the country.

At the Düsseldorf University Clinic, this also includes midwives, for example - as they are exposed to a particularly large number of aerosols from fast-breathing women in the delivery room.
