How do you find out that it is your turn?

Most recently, a video conference with Health Minister Melanie Huml and representatives of the districts said that the ministry would write to the people concerned.

Which vaccination center is responsible?

There is no free choice of the vaccination center. Rather, citizens have to go to the vaccination center at their place of residence or at the place of their permanent residence, according to the Ministry of Health. “That applies even if another vaccination center is closer or easier to reach.” Exceptions, however, also confirm the rule here: In Würzburg, for example, residents of the city and district can freely decide whether to visit the vaccination center on the Talavera in the city area or in the district in Giebelstadt.

When can I make a vaccination appointment?

That differs from district to district. In Würzburg, Kitzingen and the Haßbergen, people who are currently eligible for vaccination can already make appointments at the respective vaccination centers. A date for the second necessary vaccination will be set 21 days later. However, the vaccine made available at the moment is mainly used for the mobile vaccination teams who vaccinate residents in senior citizens’ facilities and their staff, according to Kitzingen. A spokeswoman for the Haßberge district office explains that appointments are already being made, “because we open the vaccination center if necessary, when it is foreseeable that the existing vaccine cannot be completely vaccinated by the mobile teams”.

In Schweinfurt and Aschaffenburg as well as in the districts of Main-Spessart, Bad Kissingen, Rhön-Grabfeld and Miltenberg, however, no appointments have yet been made. The authorities responsible there usually assume that this will be possible in the course of January ?? provided that enough vaccine is available. However, some districts do not want to commit themselves yet. For example, a spokeswoman at the Bad Kissingen district office points out that the function for making appointments in the vaccination software of the Bavarian Ministry of Health is not yet available. From Rhön-Grabfeld and Miltenberg it is said that they want to first complete the vaccinations in retirement and nursing homes.
