The prioritization for the corona vaccination will be relaxed in Baden-Württemberg. But those who are entitled to a vaccination appointment often despair when booking an appointment.
More and more people in Baden-Württemberg are eligible for a vaccination against the coronavirus. Who can count among those entitled to vaccinate, but is usually confronted with the sobering reality when it comes to booking a corona vaccination appointment. Because the dates are not easy to come by.
In Baden-Württemberg, only 330,000 vaccination doses are available to the vaccination centers every week. The distribution of the vaccine doses to other authorized doctors such as general practitioners is not yet included. A spokesman for the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Social Affairs emphasized to the SWR that there are far too few doses. “With the 330,000 vaccination doses, the second vaccinations are now also supplied. That in turn means fewer and fewer appointments for the first vaccination,” said the spokesman.
Three ways for the corona vaccination appointment
There are various options in Baden-Württemberg to get an appointment for the corona vaccination. Those entitled to vaccinate are connected to the call center commissioned by the state via the hotline 116117. If you don’t feel like being on hold, you can also have your corona vaccination appointment online via the homepage impfterminservice.de book. There is also the option of getting vaccinated through your own family doctor.
Anyone who is authorized to vaccinate can first receive a transfer code via the online vaccination portal. With this, an appointment can finally be booked, provided that these are available. It should also be noted who has a transfer code, but can only use it for the respective vaccination center – the codes are not valid for all vaccination centers.
Too few vaccination doses for more appointments
Whether via the hotline or online, those entitled to vaccinate are often advised that there are no vaccination appointments available. The reason given by the vaccination centers is that there is too little vaccine to make further appointments available. “We can only ask people to be patient,” emphasized the spokesman. Although vaccine deliveries for Germany are increasing, deliveries for the federal states have remained the same so far.
The Baden-Württemberg vaccination portal is often criticized and should be improved a long time ago. At the beginning of the appointment allocation, new vaccination appointments were released around midnight. As a result, young people had booked these appointments for relatives and others missed out. Meanwhile, new appointments are activated again and again during the day.
