AstraZeneca vaccines for all three priority groups!

Berlin.

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach has called for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be released immediately for all those under 65 years of age from the first three priority groups to be vaccinated. “ The  vaccine is left behind because not enough people from the first priority group register or do not show up for the appointment. This is an absurd and unbearable situation, ”said Lauterbach of“ Bild am Sonntag ”. “With the AstraZeneca vaccine, we should now open the vaccination centers unbureaucratically to everyone under 65 from the first three priority groups.  The n we could finally fully utilize the vaccination centers. ”

 The  vaccination sequence in Germany has three major groups: group one with “highest priority”, group two: “high priority”, and group three: “increased priority”.

 The  AstraZeneca vaccine is currently only given to people between the ages of 18 and 64 in Germany – there is a lack of data on the effect in older people. That is why the workers in nursing homes or intensive care units in this age group are now given this vaccine as a priority. From the point of view of scientists, the reservations about the preparation are unfounded. (dpa)
