Before the vaccination summit with Merkel - Söder with a clear demand: "We have to break down the rigid prioritization faster"

The

Bavarian Prime Minister told

Bild am Sonntag

: “We have to break down the rigid prioritization faster. After the agreed vaccination appointments * have been processed, all vaccines should be fully approved for everyone. This should best be done in May. "Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU *) had already declared last week that the prioritization could not be lifted until June at the earliest," but not at the beginning of the month. "

CSU * boss Söder now even wants young people to be vaccinated.

He

told

Bild am Sonntag

: “If the vaccine is sufficient, we should also vaccinate more students from the age of 16.

This is where the incidence * is highest. ”When vaccinated, they should be treated like adults.

Children also need a vaccine quickly, because then they can also vaccinate in schools and daycare centers.

Vaccination summit with Merkel and the Prime Minister: will there be any relief?

The vaccination summit on Monday will also be about the rights of those who have been vaccinated. Are there any reliefs for them? Are you getting your basic rights back? In a key issues paper that was made public on Saturday, it says: "For those who have been completely vaccinated against Covid-19 and for those who have recovered, the Federal Government believes that there should be certain exceptions to the current contact and exit restrictions."

People who have been vaccinated or recovered should be granted exceptions to entry regulations, access to shops and certain services, the paper said.

However, distance rules and mask requirements would continue to apply to them.

Federal Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD *) supports this proposal.

She told the 

Handelsblatt

: "If it is certain that a vaccination * not only protects against illness, but can also prevent the further transmission of the virus, this must be taken into account in the measures." This is not a privilege for vaccinated people, but a requirement of Constitution.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder calls for vaccination turbo and perspective for younger people

According to the

picture,

vaccinated and convalescent people should be given the

same rights that apply to those who have been tested (PCR test) - but only if the incidence allows it.

There will be no separate openings for shops, theaters, cinemas, restaurants or swimming pools for the time being, even for vaccinated people, as the report goes on to say.

Söder repeatedly stated that vaccination is going too slowly in Germany. In an interview with

Antenne Bayern

at the beginning of March he said: “We cannot tell people that everyone can be vaccinated by the middle or the end of the year. That has to be massively improved in the next two to three months. ”Even then, the CSU boss called for a departure from the rigid vaccination sequence as soon as more vaccine was available. “We must then - in addition to the older ones - also give the younger ones a perspective. It is a very stressful situation for them and that is why they also need an offer. ”The vaccination should not be based on rigid categories, but rather flexibly according to the occurrence of the infection and the medical judgment.
