Berlin (dpa / bb) - According to Berlin's Senator for Health Dilek Kalayci, resident doctors must also be involved in corona vaccinations if there is to be serious progress.
«We have a model project in Berlin with 137 practices.
Of course, that is far too little.
I want all doctor's practices to be able to vaccinate, ”said the SPD politician on Friday when she visited the vaccination center in Tegel, where Astrazeneca vaccine has been in use again since the morning.
"From April, my great wish is that we can also carry out the vaccinations at the doctors in private practice," said Kalayci.
The temporary vaccination ban for Astrazeneca had lost trust.
"The best thing that can happen to you is that your trusted family doctor explains the risks and can also dispel concerns."
This increases the willingness to vaccinate, argued the senator.
Astrazeneca's corona vaccine is safe from the point of view of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as the agency announced on Thursday in Amsterdam.
However, an extra warning of possible rare blood clots (thromboses) in cerebral veins will be added to the possible side effects.
The award of the vaccine was briefly suspended nationwide this week due to the inspection by the authority.

Kalayci said that the very rare side effects are now being pointed out as part of the vaccinations.
The vaccine from the Swedish-British manufacturer protects against serious and fatal courses of the disease.
"The effectiveness is very high."
The Senator said she was inviting everyone who had already received a vaccination notice and code to attend their appointments.
The numbers for bookings of vaccination appointments are not yet very high after the decision to re-admit Astrazeneca.
"It doesn't look like the vaccination center will be full yet," said Kalayci on Friday afternoon.
In the Tempelhof vaccination center, vaccination should start again on Friday.
