Munich (dpa / lby) – The Bavarian Pharmacists Association is dampening hope for nationwide help from pharmacies with corona vaccination. “The expectation that every pharmacy in Bavaria can and wants to do it straight away, which I would like to dampen a bit,” said the association chairman Hans-Peter Hubmann in an interview with Bayerischer Rundfunk. He is assuming that “a quarter to a third” of Bavarian pharmacies will participate in the vaccination. According to him, that would be 800 to 1000 pharmacies. Hubmann expects 4,000 to 5,000 pharmacies across Germany. In principle, pharmacies are ready to make their contribution. However, he referred to a lack of staff and a high workload due to corona tests and the distribution of the vaccines to the doctor’s offices. That’s why he doesn’t want to arouse exaggerated hopes.
