Kiel (dpa / lno) - Schleswig-Holstein's Minister of Health Heiner Garg is in favor of the resident doctors taking over vaccinations against corona with a suitable vaccine as soon as possible.

“You can definitely do that with the Astrazeneca vaccine because of the storage and transport properties,” said the FDP politician on Friday in Kiel.

"But it also makes no sense to distribute too few vaccine doses to too many doctors."

Then every doctor nationwide would get maybe five vaccine doses.

But that has to be a balanced relationship.

"Then I think it is right to move into the control system as quickly as possible," said Garg in view of the lack of vaccine as a whole.

The rule system means that the general practitioners vaccinate.

Currently, this is mostly done in vaccination centers.

With regard to the health ministers' conference on Monday, Garg said that it must first be clarified how reliable the delivery commitments from Astrazeneca and the other manufacturers for the second quarter are.

"It depends on how quickly you can switch to the control system, for example, at least with parts of the vaccines."

According to the Robert Koch Institute, a good 221,000 cans were inoculated in Schleswig-Holstein by Thursday, 13,300 of them from Astrazeneca.

The vaccination rate for first vaccinations in the north is 4.6 percent, which is the ninth highest value of all federal states.

For the second vaccinations it is 3.0 percent;

only Rhineland-Palatinate is higher here at 3.3 percent.
