A generationIn the fight for the most sensational anti-corona vaccination proposal, this seems to be the case right now German Red Cross (DRK) Leading in Saxony. DRK announced on Wednesday that from now on, all vaccinated Saxons can register through the Internet portal and choose from a series of coupons provided by more than 500 partner companies. The vouchers come from the travel, hotel, fashion, sports, health and electronics industries.
“People who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus can protect themselves and all citizens from the spread and mutation of this deadly virus,” DRK said, defending this unusual measure. “Thank you, we salute all the Saxons who have been vaccinated, and hope that more citizens will follow them.”
Minister very happy
The latter may be the main reason for the measure, because Saxony’s vaccination rate has been ranked last among the federal states for several weeks and is now about 10% behind the national average. According to the Robert Koch Institute on Wednesday, the initial vaccination rate The rate was 62%, and the second vaccination rate was 53%.
“I welcome the action of the German Red Cross,” said Saxony Health Minister Petra Kopin (SPD). The timing is perfect. “It is important to get as many people as possible vaccinated now so that we can minimize the impact of the fourth wave of fall as much as possible.”
The vaccination summit held by the Black, Green and Red State Government in Dresden with representatives of many social institutions only triggered a new vaccination call in the previous week. With the exception of Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony’s new infections have been the lowest among all federal states for several weeks. Due to the violent impact, the DRK coupon page was obviously unavailable on Wednesday.
