Many were surprised because the date for the second vaccination should not have been in three weeks.
But since the reminder email for an appointment on this Saturday came from the official portal 116177, around 1000 Hamburgers were already on their way and wanted to pick up their second dose.
In fact, as the head of the vaccination center, Dirk Heinrich, made it clear, the mail was programmed incorrectly.
This had visible consequences, on Saturday the queues at the Hamburg vaccination center became longer and longer because the capacities were not geared towards this additional rush.
Patience was now required, according to Heinrich, nobody was sent away.
Those who wanted could also get the second dose ahead of schedule, apparently the three weeks missing waiting period were not a problem from a medical point of view.
This scenario could also be repeated this Sunday, which is why Heinrich calls on the vaccinated people to only stick to the date that was given when the first vaccination was given.

According to the RKI, 594 505 people in Hamburg were vaccinated at least once up to and including Friday, and 150 464 residents were completely vaccinated. In terms of vaccination rates, Hamburg, with 32.2 percent of the population for first vaccinations and 8.1 percent for second vaccinations, is somewhat below the national average.
The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Hamburg fell to 86.7 on Saturday. This was the fourth day in a row below the important mark of 100. The health authority gave the number of new infections on Saturday at 206, after 292 the previous day and 312 a week ago. The seven-day incidence a week ago was 106.7. Sunday is not counted when counting the incidence values below 100, which are decisive for the elimination of the curfew, for example, because of the often inadequate data situation, only the working days count. If the incidence is below 100 on Monday, the curfew in Hamburg would be lifted on Wednesday.
