Fears in Germany about the third wave of the coronavirus

Concerned about the next wave of coronavirus due to the announced easing of restrictive measures, the Charité University Hospital in Berlin urges to speed up turbo vaccinations against Covid-19 with the participation of family doctors.

“We urgently need to shift gears to turbo if we want to prevent a third coronary wave,” said Martin Kreis, a board member of the Charité University Hospital in Berlin who is in charge of patient care. He did notcall for the inclusion of family doctors in the planning of vaccinations and the supply chain. “They are on the ground, there is a systematic communication, they know their patients and there is a close, often long-term relationship of trust with them,” he said.

Kris also called for “exhausting at least the maximum vaccination intervals between the first and second doses of the vaccine so that as many people as possible can get the first vaccine.” A first vaccination already protects very well against a serious development of Covid-19“, As he said.

In Berlin, Charité Hospital mainly treats very serious cases of coronavirus and ran an emergency program from mid-December to late January to deal with the high number of patients. Intensive care physicians now fear that once the measures are relaxed, there will be a significant increase in new infections and then high pressure in clinics.
