Almost 300 young people in old age up to 19 years of age should, according to dis Statistics on vaccinations in the canton of Bern have been vaccinated. According to the data on Admin.ch stherefore at all 15 children under 9 years of age have been vaccinated be.
About this says Gundekar Giebel, speaker of the Health Directorate of Cantons Bern: «The canton of Bern is the first canton to provide the data set for the vaccination software directly to the FOPH. This happens automatically. That is why one or the other mistake comes to light.» It is sNo a new application and the staff sNo not trained long on it. Inoculating habe only started a short time ago. Als the data went publicen, it was found that some people appeared in the statistics who should not have been in the statistics. «But I can guarantee that no children in old age from 0 to 16 years of age have been vaccinated. These are data errors.»

What also stands out: Around 15,000 people who have been vaccinated do not belong to the prioritized groups. Das is due to the vaccination strategy of the canton of Bern and statistics. Gable: “It is clear that the canton of Bern has been providing for the vaccination appointments in category A for a few weeks now that we also vaccinate the health staff. The canton of Bern has over a million inhabitants, has a large number of old people’s homes and a large number of hospitals. Of course, a large number of vaccinated people quickly emerges.»

Comparing the vaccination numbers is difficult at the moment, because apart from the canton of Bern, only the canton of Vaud provides such detailed figures to the FOPH.
