Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - In Baden-Wuerttemberg, company doctors are now gradually to vaccinate more and more.

The first model test will begin next week at a medium-sized plant manufacturer, after which the over 60-year-olds will be vaccinated.

The Ministry of Social Affairs said on Wednesday in Stuttgart that after the nationwide start of vaccinations in general practitioners' practices after Easter, preparations for a vaccination start in the companies had now begun.

The chambers of industry and commerce have agreed to inform and coordinate interested companies.

Office chief Uwe Lahl had told the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” (Wednesday) that if the state would receive a million vaccine doses from the federal government every week from mid-May, as hoped, “then that is also the moment when the economy should run up”.

He is currently talking to one or two “captains of industry” in the country in order to get the vaccination campaign up and running in the factories.

The car manufacturer Daimler was on Wednesday.

Next week, Wednesday, the ministry wants to clarify open questions in a larger group with companies and company doctors.
