When and where can I get vaccinated against Covid-19? One thing is clear: First of all, people aged 75 and over and high-risk patients will be vaccinated in the canton of Zurich. For the time being, only in the Covid vaccination center on Hirschengraben in the city of Zurich and at the University Hospital – but only patients who are being treated there.
The rush for the first 16,000 vaccine doses was so huge at the beginning of the year, “that the publicly available appointments for January were fully booked within a very short time,” says Lina Lanz, spokeswoman for the health department of the Canton of Zurich. On January 18th, new vaccination dates for February are to be activated. The health department wants to inform about the exact registration process next Monday.
