Brandenburg's doctors raise the alarm: recourse claims for vaccinations!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - The discussion about vaccinations and their importance is increasingly gaining explosive in Brandenburg. Today's reports show that the contract doctors in the state are increasing sharp criticism of the recourse claims of the health insurance companies for non -denied vaccine. This is done as part of a “Round Vaccination” in Potsdam, in which Carmen Steiniger, the CEO of the Brandenburg Association (KVBB), also clearly articulated. The main problem here: vaccine orders for the influenza vaccinations must be made in spring without the doctors being able to have a precise assessment of demand for autumn. Stomatic therefore appeals to those responsible to find a solution to the impending recourse claims that bring the names that are specified by the name.

The challenge is reinforced by the declining vaccination rates in Brandenburg. In the past flu season, only about 52.2% of those over 60 were vaccinated, which secured the region in third place in the nationwide comparison, behind Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony-Anhalt. This is alarming, especially since the vaccination rate in the 2020/2021 flu season was still 65%. Minister of Health Britta Müller said that the falling willingness to vaccination among the population was largely caused by the uncertainties of the Covid 19 vaccination campaigns. It takes an open dialogue to clarify the citizens about vaccinations and clear out their concerns.

Another aspect that the official doctor Katharina Böhm has cited concerns education. It suggests introducing a subject called "Health and Life Competence" in schools to clarify vaccinations and other important topics. This is particularly important because there are increasingly vaccinations among school leavers. In addition, Stefan Roßbach-Courchat from KVBB asks the health insurance companies to actively inform the insured-for example through serial letter campaigns that should indicate upcoming vaccinations.

Gabriela Leyh, the state manager of the Barmer in Brandenburg, manages to bring the ball into play by emphasizing the central role of doctors. These can make a significant contribution to increasing vaccination by targeted vaccination advertising, such as posters in waiting rooms.

The context of the vaccination campaigns in Germany

The situation in Brandenburg is also evident in the context of the nationwide vaccination strategy. The Robert Koch-Institut launched the dashboard VacMap to visualize and analyze the vaccination events in Germany. It offers a comprehensive image of the use of routine vaccinations, which makes it easier for actors in vaccination prevention to plan targeted measures to improve vaccination rates.

In the context of the Covid 19 pandemic, digital recording of the vaccinations is of great importance. The [Federal Ministry of Health] (https://www.bundesgesundministerium.de/ Ministry/Ressortforschung/handlungsfelder/Forschungschrzpliten/covid-19-pandemie/dim.html) has created the DIM project to carry out all positions to motivate Covid vaccinations to the Robert Koch Institute. This information is crucial to evaluate the current epidemic situation and to analyze the effectiveness of the various vaccines. The data collected are not only important for the assessment of the willingness of the population, but also for political decisions that influence the strategy to combat pandemic.

Overall, it turns out that there is an enormous educational need in Brandenburg and beyond to ensure the willingness to vaccinate in the long term. It is to be hoped that the measures that are currently being discussed will soon have an effect.
