In the fight against the 4th Corona wave, the 5 to 11 year olds will also be vaccinated from mid-December in Berlin.
According to Health Senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD), vaccinations for children between the ages of 5 and 11 should start on December 15. She said that at the Senate press conference on Tuesday.
Additional cubicles are to be provided in the vaccination centers for this purpose. “There are 15 additional cabins for children in Tegel, plus 10 at the exhibition center and 10 at the ICC plus,” said Kalayci. It is necessary to book an appointment for the vaccinations. How many child vaccinations per day would then depend on the staff of the aid organizations and cannot be said at the moment.
In addition, vaccination is to be carried out in some elementary schools. It was agreed to begin with the education administration in the elementary schools, where there are suitable rooms, for example large auditoriums. “It is currently being examined which elementary schools are,” said the senator.
There should also be “child-friendly vaccination” in the FEZ, in the natural history museum and possibly at sports clubs. Even on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, the offer should last until 2 p.m.
A recommendation from Stiko will not be waited for, it said – this is an agreement between the federal states. Parents would have a strong desire to protect their children.
