Peace, quiet and virus. Prague has come up with its own vaccination campaign
“These people, about 28 percent of Praguers, are now ten times more likely to be hospitalized and 11 times more likely to die from the infection,” the mayor said.
There are up to 39 vaccination centers in Prague with a capacity of up to 17,500 doses a day, which only give 8 to 10,000 doses a day.
It can be done in 18 days
Further vaccinations are provided by general practitioners and teams, of which Prague has a total of 12. According to Hřiba, all Praguers who have not yet been vaccinated could be vaccinated in 18 days at full capacity.
Hřib’s deputy Petr Hlubuček (STAN) added that the testing capacity of Prague is sufficient. There are 134 sampling points, which are performed up to 51 thousand tests per day.
Prague does not want to restrict the holding of traditional Christmas markets, for which people from all over the country and abroad travel to the metropolis, but it will proceed according to current government measures.
However, the organization of a possible accompanying program will probably be more complicated.
According to government measures, it should be subject to a limit of thousands of people who must also prove their infectivity. If the organizer decides to organize the program, he will abide by the rules.
The mayor also called on Praguers to be helpful in cooperation with hygiene and to make its work easier.
According to him, only about 65 percent of people manage to call the tracers, and dozens of firefighters and members of the customs administration are currently helping them. The management of the metropolis has already approved one million crowns for the hygienists’ fees.
Peace. Pohoda. To me
The city also launched a new campaign against the covid. “In terms of motivation to vaccinate, the government has opted for a somewhat special campaign with drastic images. We decided to take a different path, “said Hřib.
We are launching the 3rd Prague vaccination campaign. We believe that in the run-up to Christmas, the vaccination campaign in the public sphere should be more non-violent and conciliatory. He calls for the responsibility of each of us and speaks to the unvaccinated so that they do not take the situation lightly. How do you like the campaign? pic.twitter.com/adTFJBUmcK

Dora Pružincová from the DDB agency, which was preparing the campaign, added:
“There is already a lot of fear and haunting around this topic, so we decided to take it in such a light, positive way. Even though the key message is meant very seriously. “
The campaign, which motivates people to vaccinate and adhere to protective measures, is based on the “reversal” of Christmas activities and traditions. Among the slogans are, for example, “Christmas. New Year’s Eve. New castle “,” Well-being. Peace. A vir “or” Kaspar, Melichar, Pi-si-ar “.
Visuals appear on urban furniture areas and spots on the radio.
This week, tests in Prague revealed 11,000 cases of covid, which is about 40 percent more than in the previous week. Free capacity in hospitals is currently 13 percent of standard oxygen beds (426 in total).
The beds in the wards with the possibility of artificial infectious lung ventilation are full. In other wards, only 9 percent of beds with artificial lung ventilation are available (47 in total).
