The Vorarlberg vaccination days will start on Thursday. The capacities in the vaccination centers in Nenzing and Bregenz will be increased massively. The stakes in the vaccination booths are being increased.
With the introduction of the 2G rule, the willingness to pick up the spades against Covid19 has also increased in Ländle. Long queues formed in front of vaccination centers and booths on the weekend. On average, those wishing to be vaccinated had to wait 30 minutes with an appointment, without an appointment it was an average of two hours.
Those in charge of the state reacted to the high demand with an expansion of the offer: “In Bregenz and Nenzing, both vaccination lines will be run up in parallel,” explained Health Councilor Martina Rüscher. In both places there is the stitch with or without registration. The four shopping centers (Messepark Dornbirn, Interspar Feldkirch, Zimbapark Bludenz and KDW Egg) can be visited without an appointment during their opening hours from Thursday to Saturday. A total of 50,000 Vorarlberg residents are to be vaccinated over the next ten days.
The third spade is just as important as increasing the vaccination rate. “After six months, the immune response decreases significantly,” explained Dr. Robert Spiegel, Vaccination Coordinator of the Medical Association. As with TBE or hepatitis, a booster vaccination is therefore necessary. The third bite can be combined well with a flu vaccination. “In the private sector, the refrigerators are full of flu vaccines.”
