Large companies in the metals, chemical and financial sectors are busy gearing up for their participation in Germany’s national vaccination campaign. Volkswagen and BASF have even started pilot projects, administering a few hundred vaccinations per day. However, due to insufficient vaccine supplies, mass inoculation in companies will not start before June, and before then a number of legal and ethical issues still need to be resolved.
Setting up voluntary vaccination and sequencing. Following the ramping up of company Covid screening programs (c.f. article No. 12468), the time will soon come for onsite inoculations to be administered (in specially set up tents, company minibuses, or specific areas in corporate occupational health departments). In Germany, large companies are preparing a mass vaccination campaign covering hundreds of thousands of workers, and company vaccination announcements are multiplying. On 21 April Deutsche Bahn announced it was setting up ten employee vaccination centers.
