The main hospital in the small central canton of Schwyz had to bring in security staff to handle the larger than expected crowds looking to get vaccinated.
A spokeswoman for the hospital says although they were offering appointment free jabs – some had to be told to come back the next day. The hospital is expanding its capacity. It’s now vaccinating 400 a day.
Canton Schwyz has a fairly low vaccination rate compared to the rest of the country. Only 46% have been fully jabbed – nationally that number is 53%.
