Hamburg (dpa / lno) - As the first members of the so-called prioritization group 3, employees of secondary schools and from the youth welfare sector are now called on to corona vaccination.

The health authority announced on Monday.

So far, only teachers and employees at primary and special schools could be vaccinated against corona.

The school authorities now also sent vaccination calls to 84 district schools, 73 grammar schools and 55 vocational schools.

"We would like to make it clear how important the commitment of school employees at Hamburg's secondary and vocational schools is and how much this is valued," said school senator Ties Rabe (SPD).

They were subordinated to the employees in daycare centers and at elementary and special schools in the vaccination prioritization because it was assumed that younger children in particular are difficult to keep their distances.

This had led to considerable criticism among school employees.

Several thousand appointments are still available for this week, the health authority said.

Depending on the delivery situation and the availability of the vaccine, further dates would be released on an ongoing basis.

Interested parties can book them by phone at 116 117 or online at www.impfterminservice.de.

At the appointment at the vaccination center, a certificate from the employer must then be presented.
