World Medical Association boss Frank Ulrich Montgomery proposes a limitation of the vaccination status in order to improve the immunization of the population.
"Every vaccination must have an expiration date," said the doctor to the newspapers of the Funke media group.
Whose immunization was a long time ago, then automatically revert to the status of the unvaccinated.
Anyone who can be boosted is considered vaccinated again.
To this end, it must now be clarified how long the vaccination protection lasts and when this expiry date must be set, according to Montgomery.
In France, booster vaccinations are to be mandatory in the future in order to keep the "vaccinated" status.
"We also need the regulation in Germany," demanded the head of the World Medical Association.
At the end of the week, the EU Commission had also proposed a booster vaccination against Corona as a prerequisite for the continued validity of the EU's digital Covid certificate.
