The dpa reported on Friday (March 18, 2022) after the Senate Department for Health had responded to an inquiry. In the last week of February there were still 9700 vaccinations in the vaccination centers and vaccination centers. According to the health administration, almost two thirds of the vaccinations in Berlin are now given by general practitioners and specialists.
Five state-owned vaccination centers are still in operation
The vaccination center at Messe and the vaccination points in the Spandau Arcaden, in the Lindencenter in the Lichtenberg district, in Ikea Tempelhof and in the Freizeitforum Marzahn were already closed at the end of February. In addition to the vaccination centers in the former ICC congress center and in the selected Tegel Airport, the vaccination centers in the Ring-Center shopping center on Frankfurter Allee, the drive-in vaccination center in Lichtenberg and the children’s vaccination center at Ikea in Lichtenberg are currently open. According to the health administration, the vaccination centers and vaccination centers currently have a combined capacity of around 3,500 to 4,000 vaccinations per day.
Only slow progress in vaccination coverage
It is not yet clear how long which vaccination centers and vaccination points will be used. According to the information, this depends on many criteria, including the development of the pandemic and the demand for vaccination appointments. According to the Senate’s situation report on Friday, the rate for the first vaccinations is 77.6 percent – actually 80 percent should have been reached by the end of January. Overall vaccination progress is slow
US vaccine Nuvaxovid little used
The vaccine Nuvaxovid from the US manufacturer Novavax has only been used a good 2,330 times in Berlin since the end of February. He plays an overall filing role. More than 5.5 million doses of the Biontech vaccine alone have been used in Berlin since the start of vaccinations in December 2020. “We did not expect that the vaccination gap could be closed with Nuvaxovid alone,” said the health administration. Nuvaxovid is a protein vaccine, which is a different technology than the mRNA preparations from Biontech-Pfizer and Moderna that some people have had concerns about.
