Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's Governing Mayor Michael Müller has asked all those entitled to vaccinate to use the opportunity to protect themselves against the background of the ongoing corona pandemic.
He really asked everyone to give up their reluctance to vaccinate.
«The vaccine is here, we have appointments.
Please also accept this offer.
It protects and helps, it saves lives, ”said Müller on Thursday evening after a special session of the Senate.
Skepticism about the Astrazeneca vaccine is also not justified.
In the vaccination center in Tegel there are free appointments for the next few days, emphasized Müller.
"The organization in Berlin is in place."
When all Berliners could be vaccinated, however, depends on when the vaccine is available in sufficient quantities.
Müller criticized the manufacturers' statements in the delivery schedules were not always reliable.
"Last week we had a confirmation for a vaccine delivery, which then only arrived with a delay."
Müller criticized the fact that doctors in private practice have not yet been allowed to take corona vaccinations.
“And the Federal Minister of Health is responsible for agreeing the relevant framework conditions.
This is now recorded in an MPK decision that it will be implemented in March, ”said Müller.
“But now it's also the highest railway, I have to say.
It has long been clear that we need doctors, ”said the Governing Mayor.
"And I also can't understand why people keep arguing that a doctor can only go online in his practice when he has the vaccine for the last patient in the refrigerator."
