While the burden of vaccinating people in Tallinn has so far fallen on the shoulders of family physicians and hospitals, two vaccination centers will be opened in the capital city next week - open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Kaja cultural center (Kaja Kultuurikeskus) in Mustamäe will be operated by the West Tallinn Central Hospital, vaccinations at the Tondiraba Ice Hall (Tondiraba spordihall) will open on Tuesday as medics at the East Tallinn Central Hospital are occupied with frontline vaccinations to start the week.

Many hospitals have either completely or partially closed their coronavirus wards. However, people awaiting hospital treatment must still wait as intensive care units are still burdened by the virus and the over-worked healthcare workers need a few days off to recover.
The coronavirus pandemic has not hit only the major hospitals of Tallinn, but also smaller county hospitals as well. In fact, there have been times in the COVID-19 ward of Läänemaa Hospital this year where there are more coronavirus patients being treated than there were places. At the peak, we have had 19 patients on our 18 bed places, we have even had to get an extra bed there, said hospital chief Edvard Garder. This stems from us not being able to send them anywhere else and the problem usually got solved in two-three days.
