Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The early corona vaccination decided by the federal and state governments for elementary school teachers and daycare staff will be a while in Hamburg.
When the vaccination call could be made cannot be said exactly, said Martin Helfrich, spokesman for the health authority, on Tuesday the German press agency.
The prerequisite is the sufficient availability of the vaccine.
"In this respect, it will only begin in the coming weeks and then drag on for many weeks."
The federal and state health ministers agreed on Monday that teachers at elementary and special schools as well as educators in daycare centers can be vaccinated earlier than previously planned.
He assumes that the federal vaccination ordinance will be changed accordingly in the coming days, said Helfrich.
In Hamburg, it is estimated that between 40,000 and 60,000 people are affected who could be vaccinated in addition to members of the other groups with the highest and high priority.
As most of them are likely to be under 65 years of age, the Astrazeneca vaccine is also an option for this group.
