Somebody sat there in my state of Hessen, and asked the question....what's it cost for a vaccination at the doctor's office, versus the vaccination center?
Well....if it comes up....tell the guy, it's best not to ask.
The official cost got mentioned by HR (our regional public TV folks). What they say?
So far, to run the 28 regional vaccination centers from the Christmas period, to now....around 640-million Euro have been spent (figure $750-million dollars more or less). Total population of the state (including kids)? 6.29-million. Right now....around 800k have both shots done (figure around 13-percent), and 2.5-million have a minimum of one shot.
So here's the thing....if you went to a local doctor and got the shot (with your healthcare agency/company paying)....it'd be around 20-to-25 Euro (for his time syringe and liquid stuff). So yeah, this vaccination center crap is about 150 Euro and fairly expensive to run (seven times the cost).
Wrong way or more costly way of doing this? Well....listen, these political idiots are under pressure and they have to deliver 'X' in some fantastic way (light-speed) and this vaccination center business was the way to show performance.
So by the end of 2021....how much will Hessen have spent on the 28 vaccination centers? I can only take a reasonable guess.....close to a billion Euro.
