Frankfurt / Main (dpa) – First vaccinate, then give presents and celebrate Christmas – according to this motto, there were still offers in several cities in Hesse to get vaccinated against Corona on Friday. While the vaccination centers in Offenbach and Kassel were also open for a few hours on Christmas Eve, 120 people were vaccinated in the Frankfurt Cathedral. Two vaccination teams were on duty for three and a half hours, said a spokeswoman for the city church. “The mood was relaxed and happy – for some, today’s vaccination was a” gift from God “”
In addition, the Frankfurt vaccination center is also open on Christmas Day, as the city announced on Thursday. “We all expect that the Omikron variant will determine the infection rate in Frankfurt within a very short time,” said Peter Tinnemann, head of the Frankfurt health department. “Anyone who has not yet been vaccinated should take advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated now.”
With the additional opening times over the holidays, the aim is to enable vaccination appointments for those who are otherwise heavily involved in everyday life and work and have little free time, said Dierk Dallwitz, Managing Director of the DRK Frankfurt.
The vaccination center opens on December 25, 26 and 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On January 1st, it is open from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The vaccination center was only closed on Christmas Eve, on December 24th.
