As soon as sufficient vaccine is available, prioritization will no longer be needed, said Lucha.
“If other federal states cancel the prioritization, that does not mean that all authorized persons will get an appointment quickly.
Quite simply, many more people apply for the same number of vaccination appointments. "
Lucha announced that the next dialogue meeting with social and welfare associations, the regional seniors' council, the state commissioner for the disabled, self-help initiatives and those affected will be on May 3rd.
