    a

    vaccination certificate

    .

Berlin - The

corona vaccinations

in

Germany

are starting.

At the

start of

the vaccination, the vaccine from Biontech / Pfizer * was mainly injected into high-risk groups, such as the elderly or people in need of care.

Spahn

assumes that eleven to twelve million

vaccine doses will be

available

by the end of March 2021

.

Since the preparation has to be administered twice, around five to six million people could be vaccinated with it.

By the summer, the

Minister of Health

(CDU)

wants to

ensure that all people in Germany can be offered a corona vaccination.

Jens Spahn against special rights for vaccinated people: moving away from the vaccination pass

In the middle of the

vaccination start

, in view of the

shortage

of

doses

, a debate about

special rights

for

vaccinated

people

bursts

.

Some politicians are allergic to this.

Spahn told the newspapers of the “Funke Mediengruppe”: “Many are waiting in solidarity so that some can be vaccinated first.

Conversely, those not yet vaccinated expect the vaccinated to be patient with one another in solidarity. ”Mutual consideration keeps the country together, said

Spahn

.

In spring 2020, at the beginning of the

corona pandemic

, the Minister of Health had

spoken out in

favor of an

immunity

card

,

a so-called

vaccination pass

.

Spahn assumed a complete immunization after illness, which has not been finally proven.

A vaccination certificate might previously have encouraged people to “Corona parties”.

In addition to

Spahn

, health politician

Karl Lauterbach

(SPD)

spoke out

against special rights for vaccinated people

.

He also warned that vaccinated people could still infect other people with the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus.

At the start of the vaccination, Lauterbach also called for an increase in vaccine production.

He said, “

We're running out of time.

The virus has already formed mutations. "

World Medical President

Frank Ulrich Montgomery, however, considers special rights for vaccinated people to be conceivable.

"At the moment, when you cannot offer a vaccination to everyone, such a procedure is forbidden," he told the "Deutschlandfunk".

However, later, if everyone had a chance to get a vaccination and additional information about a possible immunity in the blood were available, such decisions are possible, said Montgomery.

As an example, the world medical president cited that some states had issued entry bans for people who were not vaccinated with yellow fever.

Spahn used the same yellow fever comparison in the spring - which is, however, controversial *.
