In roughly ten days, the vaccination business in Germany will start up. Right now, the priority system is not worded in concrete. About two weeks ago....some PhD guys sat down and drew up a six-level priority system....more or less, as a suggestion. The bulk of society (42-odd million) would have been in category six and probably need invited until April to participate.
This morning, I viewed N-TV news and a new discussion had started up, with the Minister of Health (Spahn).
In his mind, there would be three categories for people to fit into.
1st level: Anyone in Germany over 80 years old, and their retirement home maintainers/nurses. Nurses who were around high-risk people....also got into this level.
Just my humble view...but this is a more difficult process because you need to send the teams out to each retirement home or rural region, and do it on-site. You are probably talking about four weeks to sign off all of these people in Germany.
2nd level: This is the 70 years old or older group. With these people....anyone who has the risk of developing a serious disease (probably indicating folks with diabetes, COPD, or AIDs). They also grouped homeless shelter people and asylum folks into this level.
3rd level: Basically everyone else.
Timing for the 3rd level? I would imagine that you'd reach this group in late February.
Kinda late in the game for this type of planning? Well, yeah....this is stuff that should have been ironed out in July/August.
If issues develop? It's best not to bring up this topic of discussion.
