High manpower requirements
A first vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 should be available by the beginning of January at the latest. “We are currently preparing at full speed to start voluntary vaccination as soon as the first vaccine is available. That also means that we have to recruit a lot of staff, ”the health minister continued.
The country’s vaccination strategy provides for a total of 59 vaccination centers as well as supporting mobile vaccination teams so that a large number of people can be vaccinated quickly.
From December 15, nine central vaccination centers in the state (ZIZ) will be set up in the university cities of Ulm, Tübingen, Heidelberg and Freiburg as well as in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Offenburg and Rot am See. From January 15, 2021, another 50 district vaccination centers (KIZ) will follow. In addition, mobile vaccination teams (MIT) will be set up, which initially give residents of old people’s and nursing homes access to the vaccine.
The country is looking for volunteers who will receive payment to work in the vaccination centers.
