Mobile vaccination teams go to socially disadvantaged districts

The mobile vaccination teams of the vaccination centers have been looking for socially disadvantaged areas since this week. People in socially difficult situations are currently the most at risk - so the country is looking forward to them. In the meantime, more than four million people in Baden-Württemberg have received first vaccination.

Since this week mobile vaccination teams from the vaccination centers in Baden-Württemberg have been visiting socially disadvantaged areas. Mannheim, Pforzheim and Tuttlingen are among the districts with the lowest vaccination rate in Baden-Württemberg.

"We support the commitment of the individual counties and cities as well as their vaccination centers in the use of mobile vaccination teams in urban areas with low vaccination rates. It is the right answer to reach all endangered people and to push the pandemic back faster," said Minister of Health Manne lucha On the occasion of the actions.

The vaccination campaign continues

Last weekend the brand of four million first vaccinations in the vaccination centers and in resident doctors was exceeded in Baden-Württemberg. Almost 1.25 million people in the country are completely vaccinated. Minister Lucha: "Soon half of the adults will receive an initial vaccination. The numbers show us that we are on the right track. More than 73 percent of over 60s have already received vaccination and are therefore protected." "

The Ministry of Social Affairs first opened the vaccination rates (pdf) Land districts according to the respective place of residence of the citizens (without vaccinations by general practitioners). They are based on the postcode assessment of the vaccinated, regardless of where the vaccination took place. Result: The vaccination rates are particularly high in university cities, sometimes also in rural areas such as in the district of Emmendingen. In contrast, cities with larger population groups, which on average have more difficult socio -economic conditions (unemployment, level of education, etc.), often have lower vaccination rates. Population size, quantities of vaccine, the question of whether there is a central vaccination center in the city or in the district, and the distance to the next vaccination center alone cannot explain the big differences between the districts. The vaccination centers work well and effectively everywhere, but in the districts with low vaccination rates they are apparently used to be used more and more by people from neighboring districts.

mobile vaccination teams

The mobile vaccination teams (with) are organized with the respective vaccination centers. They complement the structure of the central vaccination centers and the district vaccination centers. At the beginning of the vaccination campaign, the mobile vaccination teams visited the elderly and care facilities or facilities to support inpatient integration to vaccinate the people living there. In the meantime, this can also offer on-site dates in the communities to vaccinate people who are suitable for vaccination.
