Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - According to the North Rhine Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, the fixed sequence for corona vaccinations should be canceled as soon as possible.

If the amount of vaccine continues to increase as announced, the prioritization should fall, demanded the chairman of the board Frank Bergmann on Thursday.

You hinder the dynamic.

With the resident doctors joining the vaccination campaign a good three weeks ago, significant progress was made in terms of the number of vaccinations in North Rhine-Westphalia.

"Everything that reaches us is reviled in the practices."

In contrast, around 100,000 doses are stored in the vaccination centers that, according to the KNVO, could not be administered until now.

According to a cautious estimate - an average of 50 vaccinations per week per practice - the association assumes that all adults in North Rhine-Westphalia who are ready to be vaccinated will receive an initial vaccination by the beginning of August.

Assuming 100 vaccinations per week and practice in an “ambitious scenario”, all adults who are ready to vaccinate could receive their first injection by the end of June.

The extrapolation calculates that 80 percent of the population would like to be immunized against the coronavirus.

According to the KVNO, resident doctors currently have a share of 35.9 percent of the total vaccination volume in North Rhine-Westphalia.
