P.s:

Here is the link to our national monitoring in terms of vaccinations in our districts.

https://www.covid19.admin.ch/de/vaccination/persons/d/geography

You can click on a district in the map to look up the actual percentages of fully or partly vaccinated citizens.
The darker the green color is the more people have been vaccinated until now.

There is no vaccination available yet for children under 12 years - of course.
As far as I know, no country has that...

Mycanton Zürich with 1,5 Mio inhabitants is quite well off - soon there are going to be 60% fully vaccinated.

Other regions - mostly more rural districts are a bit behind.

The process right now is only very slowly going on with around 20'000 vaccinations per day - compared to 8,5 million inhabitants.

They now try to get closer to the people:
- busses crouse around and stop in smaller villages, schools or at the entrance of shopping malls and the like
- you can get vaccinated by more and more doctors and pharmacies
- the vaccination teams work together with communities and so events and happenings do take place
- everyone tries to convince a few more people and the teams can answer all those questions that still worry many in terms of security, pros and cons and what side effects it will bring, and for how long, etc….

So let us wait and see!

Funny little story:

Yesterday we talked about the vaccinations at the restaurant where we use to have a slice or two of pizza after our choir rehearsal.

A colleague of mine has a boyfriend who works as a nurse in a hospital in Great Britain.
So my colleague, Martin is his name, met him there for two weeks in summer

Whenever they talked about what to do Martin would say: yeah we could go to this concert would you be vaccinated. And on the next day: we could go to the pub if you like but you need a test. And on his last day: you could come and visit me in Switzerland someday if you are vaccinated till then…

So in the end, on the very last day of their holiday, Martin brought his friend round to take the first shot in a walk-in vaccination facility, it was a tent on a small marketplaceJ

Now Gabe:
This will be my last post for a while on this matter.

I guess you see that for me it is quite an important question that bothers me from time to time.
Therefore, I was happy to share some thoughts with you.
