Cologne –

Hall 4 of the Kölnmesse: This is where Cologne residents will be vaccinated against the corona virus in the future. During a tour on Tuesday, December 15, representatives from the city and trade fair presented the new facility with 20 vaccination booths and 40 vaccination places.

Cologne: One of the largest vaccination centers in Germany

This makes it one of the largest vaccination centers in Germany, stated trade fair boss Gerald Böse. “Regulated vaccination operations need safety and hygiene, which we provide here,” said Böse.

The vaccination center is ready for use, said Mayor Henriette Reker. “I’m curious to see how the vaccinated will be distributed in the new rooms. Vaccine, that sounds like Lord of the Rings. It’s the same in Cologne now, “joked Reker, only to get serious again:” We’re ready, we’re just waiting for the vaccine. “

Kölnmesse: First vaccinations expected in early January

According to the head of the health department, Dr. Johannes Nießen can be expected from the beginning of January. It starts with the vulnerable groups (including high-risk patients) and the health care staff.

Nießen took the opportunity to advertise the vaccine, which in all probability will come from the manufacturer Biontech. “That little prick has a big impact. The vaccine’s success rate is 95 percent. And the more Cologne people get vaccinated, the fewer people will die. “

Fire brigade chief Christian Miller explained: “Cooling the vaccine at minus 70 degrees is a logistical challenge. But we’re done and prepared here. Only the vaccine is missing. “(Jan / mj)
