FOPH vaccination campaign progresses
The FOPH is celebrating its vaccination campaign. Currently, two out of three adults in the population aged 16 and older have already received at least one vaccination. This is gratifying and "more than cause for celebration".
It is probably no coincidence, as the summer vacations have begun or are just around the corner. According to the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), 63 percent of the Swiss population aged 16 and older have already been vaccinated at least once. This is a good result, the FOPH writes. "We therefore say thank you to all those who have been vaccinated and to the many people who have been involved," a statement from the federal office said.
To mark this result, the FOPH served a cake to passers-by in front of the Federal Palace on Monday. Those who wanted to get vaccinated before or after enjoying the cake could do so right away in an immunization truck in the canton of Bern between 10 am and 4 pm. The FOPH writes that it is now possible during the quieter summer holiday period to simply get vaccinated against Covid-19 in doctor's offices or pharmacies without making an appointment.
