Canton Aargau is the first to open up vaccinations on a first come first served basis.

By the end of the month, anyone over 18 will be able to show up at a vaccination centre at get their first jab. A date for the second dose will be made at the same time. 

The cantonal department of health says they’ve reached the stage where almost all residents who want a jab have had one. Currently around 1,000 register every day and they get an appointment immediately. 

The canton says it’s ready to start vaccinating all those over 12 years old, once federal authorities give the go ahead. That’s expected next month.
