While the district office is working at full speed on the construction of two more vaccination sites, the authority is faced with a new challenge: the cap on the maximum order quantity for the vaccine from Biontech and Pfizer by the Federal Ministry of Health. The district office will therefore again significantly increase the order quantities for the vaccine from Moderna, the authority announced. In this way one wants to be able to meet the need for primary vaccinations, full immunizations and booster vaccinations. In this context, the district authority points out that there is no freedom of choice with regard to the vaccine to be administered. According to the current recommendation of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko), only people under the age of 30 and pregnant women are entitled to a vaccination with the vaccine from Biontech. Vaccination centers and mobile teams are therefore encouraged to keep the vaccine available for these groups. Until further notice, people aged 30 and over received the vaccine from the US company Moderna, the second approved mRNA vaccine next to that from Biontech. The District Office also reminds you: Anyone who wants to be vaccinated in the hair vaccination center needs an appointment. This is best booked in the Bayimco registration portal. Alternatively, you can book an appointment by phone at 089/248 80 66 60.
