Several people could be seen waiting at a vaccination centre in Potsdam open for four hours on Saturday, Christmas day.

A man dressed as Santa Claus could be seen dropping by the testing centre and giving candies and chocolates to patients waiting to be vaccinated.

“We have a capacity of about 1,600 jabs per day here at the vaccination centres in the city [of Potsdam]. Now, over the holidays, there will be about 800 jabs [per day],” said Jan Brunzlow, the city’s spokesperson.

According to local news, on Christmas Eve, Friday, at least 706 people received a jab at the centre; most were booster jabs.

SOT, Jan Brunzlow, Spokesperson for city of Potsdam (German): “We think the feedback was very good. We vaccinated almost 600 people today [December 24th] in Potsdam including numerous children between 5 to 11 years, which wasn’t possible for such a long time. For them, Santa Claus was here with a small surprise after the vaccination. We are very happy with the [amount of] vaccinations [today] and that the offer was so well received.’‘

SOT, Jan Brunzlow, Spokesperson for city of Potsdam (German): “We have a capacity of about 1,600 jabs per day here at the vaccination centres of the city [of Potsdam]. Now over the holidays there will be about 800 jabs [per day] and we also plan for next week on New Years Eve a vaccination event with the motto ‘Boosting instead of burning fireworks’. You can book the appointments online but they are almost all gone, the people are happily taking this offer.’‘

SOT, Jan Brunzlow, Spokesperson for city of Potsdam (German): “​Especially in summer and late summer we noticed that there was a certain kind of tiredness about getting vaccinations, also here in Potsdam. Back then, this vaccination centre’s capacity was at about 50% in August and September and then the vaccination centre was closed for a while. Since the beginning of December, we reopened and we see that people want to get the vaccinations, especially the booster jab and it is also the majority of people who want to get vaccinated. And this makes us confident that also the last people who have been saying ‘well, I’ll wait for another vaccine’ or ‘I don’t know yet’ that those are coming here now too to get vaccinated.’‘
