On Wednesday afternoon, Lauterbach also commented on the corona vaccine, possible further mutations and a strategy against the virus via Instagram.

The health expert Astrazeneca defended: "Not to use the vaccine would be completely foolish," he said, because: The consequences of corona disease are much more serious.

The politician put the probability of an infection with the virus for death or serious side effects around 1000 times higher.

He can understand any uncertainties, especially among those who are under 60 years old and have already received their first dose of Astrazeneca, according to Lauterbach.

The politician calls the strategy of giving these people a different vaccine for a second vaccination "plausible".

You don't know if that's a good approach.

From his experience, however, he could say that the first vaccination was more problematic than the second.

Studies are currently running on this.

Lauterbach expects a result in two to three weeks.
