Altkreis Münden – As of this week, company doctors can also vaccinate employees. Companies in the Altkreis Münden are also preparing or have already started, such as the building materials manufacturer Pufas in Volkmarshausen.
Pufas: Vaccinations by the company doctor
There, the vaccination by the company doctor goes well and is also accepted by the employees, as Welf Kantelhardt from the company’s product and occupational safety department reports on request. For reasons of hygiene, the vaccinations for the Pufas employees are administered in the company doctor’s practice.
“Around 40 percent of employees accept this vaccination offer,” Kantelhardt continues. “There has already been a first round of vaccination with the Astrazeneca vaccine. In teams of eight to ten people, the employees went to the practice at half-hour intervals. ”The same procedure is also planned for the next week with the Biontech vaccine. Most of the remaining employees had already had their first vaccination or at least an appointment.
According to Kantelhardt, impatience only arose for a short time because a few employees had expressed concerns about the Astrazeneca vaccine. “But that relaxed again thanks to the availability of Biontech.”

At the auto supplier Weser Metall Umformtechnik (WMU), interested employees are to be vaccinated this week, said managing director Jörg Wittling. There was a questionnaire to all 420 employees. Whether the vaccinations take place in the company or in the practice of the company doctor is still being clarified.

Münden a vaccination route was set up. Employees can be safely vaccinated in a separate wing made up of three offices. There is also an observation room for any vaccination reactions.
