Good evening,

At Frankfurt Airport, travelers have to be prepared for long waiting times.
For this, the wait for a vaccine adapted to the omicron subvariants seems to be over.
It should be delivered in the fall.
And those who have been waiting for Frankfurt to finally present itself as a fashion city will not be disappointed either.
Frankfurt Fashion Week begins on Sunday.
Strong nerves needed at the airport
: the summer holidays are not coming up anytime soon in Hesse.
But in other states.
In NRW, for example, school ends on June 24th.
That's in ten days!
Soon there could be significantly more activity at Frankfurt Airport than at present.
But many passengers are already complaining about chaotic conditions.
There is a lack of staff everywhere.
Travelers have to be prepared for long waiting times at check-in, security checks and baggage claim and expect flights to be canceled at short notice.
When you finally arrive at your holiday destination, you cannot be sure that your luggage was on board.
Because there were no passengers during the Corona period, Fraport has cut around 4,000 jobs, especially in ground handling services.
Finding staff again is difficult.
Author Hans Dieter Erlenbach explains why there have been repeated disruptions to the process recently - and why administrative staff should now also help with the check-in of passengers.
A small note: the rule of thumb that it is sufficient to be there two hours before the stated departure time has long since been suspended.
New vaccine expected in autumn:
Corona?
There was something.
Yes, there was something.
The number of infections is rising again nationwide.
And, according to the hospitals, preparations are being made for autumn so that more corona patients can be treated again if necessary.
Time to look at the vaccination status of the Hessians:
On Tuesday the rate for the second vaccination was 74.6, for the third vaccination 57.4.
Only seven percent have already received a fourth vaccination.
Is that enough?
The Hessian Health Minister Kai Klose (Die Grünen) and his Rhineland-Palatinate counterpart Clemens Hoch (SPD) opened the national vaccination conference in Wiesbaden on Tuesday.
The experts have addressed these and other questions and are also looking to the future.
A new vaccine adapted to the omicron subvariants is due to come onto the market in autumn.
Klose advised everyone who is older than 70 years old or belongs to a vulnerable group to get the fourth vaccination.
The participants in the vaccination conference come from science and research, health policy, the public health service and doctors from clinics and practices.
And Frankfurt Fashion can also:
At least that's the full-bodied announcement.
And that too without the Berlin Premium Group, which left Frankfurt alone with the organization of a fashion week by withdrawing.
Challenge accepted!
In the coming week, the city will become a catwalk.
A program with more than 100 points was put together.
750,000 euros flowed into the organization of the fashion event, which is intended to boost the creative economy and make it more visible.
The full range can be found at frankfurt.fashion/de.
This includes fashion shows on roof terraces, a gala runway show in the Alte Oper and various shows and discussions in the Carmelite monastery.
The start of the Frankfurt Fashion Week will be celebrated on Sunday evening.
In cooperation with the German Fashion Council, designer René Storck presents his new collection in the trading floor of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
In addition, the Iron Bridge becomes a catwalk on Sunday.
There fashion designer Samuel Gärtner presents his fashion.
Stay healthy,
Marie Lisa Kehler
