Bavaria's Minister of Health, Klaus Holetschek, spoke cautiously about vaccinations for children and adolescents. One hears from the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) that there will probably not be a unanimous recommendation, "Vaccinate children and adolescents - and I take that seriously and you have to weigh it up." He said on Wednesday evening on Bavarian television.
In addition, the CSU politician emphasized that he did not want the vaccine "to be withdrawn from others" in order to redistribute it.
But if there was an additional vaccine and paediatricians were involved, then the topic would have to be discussed.
The minister emphasized that the discussion about vaccinations for children and adolescents is important and correct.
They are one of the groups that suffered the most in the pandemic.

The number of Corona infections is not only falling rapidly in the Free State: 46 in Bavaria, 47 in all of Germany.
So everywhere the seven-day incidence is in free fall.
Nevertheless, the confusion with the Corona rules is far from over - on the contrary.
We show ten important prohibitions and commands that apply at the current level of the seven-day incidence * (between 50 and 100).
Do you know these rules?
Here is an overview of what is currently valid.
Corona in Bavaria: The call for indoor catering to be opened is loud
Original article from May 26, 2021:
Munich - In Bavaria, the 7-day incidence has slipped below the important mark of 50 for the first time since October 2020. On Wednesday (May 26th) the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI) reported a value of 45.9. The Free State is even below the German value of 46.8 - even if the nationwide Corona hotspot with Memmingen (161) is still in Bavaria. In view of the good development of the corona numbers *, there are now calls for new easing. If these are then decided, they can also come into force earlier from today.
Since the middle of May it has been possible again to enjoy your roast pork or wheat beer outdoors in Bavaria with a stable incidence of less than 100. Outdoor catering has successfully resumed operations under strict regulations and hygiene rules. Angela Inselkammer, President of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga), now thinks the time has come to talk about opening up indoor catering. "Experience has shown that our operations are safe," said a press release on Wednesday.
For vaccinated, convalescent and tested people, all offers of the hospitality industry should be available - regardless of the incidence - according to Inselkammer.
"In view of such low incidence values, we must also dare to return to normality as quickly as possible without corona tests * as in the phase after the first lockdown."
Coronavirus in Bavaria: waiting time for openings reduced by one day
If the state government were to accept this demand and reopen the indoor catering, this could also be implemented more quickly in the future.
The Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) said on Wednesday that the procedure, which was tried out at Pentecost, of moving openings one day early in the event of a low incidence, is to be retained even after the holidays.
They have had good experiences with it.
This change affects, among other things, the tourism, gastronomy and cultural sectors and also the elimination of the obligation to test above certain incidence values. Previously, a certain incidence limit had to be fallen below for five days at a time. Then there was a waiting period of two days. From the eighth day onwards, it was allowed to relax. This is now possible from the seventh day. The waiting time has been shortened. "Openings from day seven are another important step towards normality," said Holetschek. "I am pleased that the falling number of infections is making further relief possible." In Munich it could soon be the case and the new regulation will come into force. Bavaria's capital reported a value below 50 on Wednesday of 38.7 for the third day in a row. So there should be new easing in Munich from Sunday, May 30th.
In Bavaria, vaccinations against corona are now to be increased in socially disadvantaged areas
In terms of vaccination *, Bavaria now wants to become more social.
Immunization is now to be increased, especially in socially disadvantaged areas.
“It is our job to support the weakest in our society.
We therefore have to reach people in need and socially disadvantaged people with the vaccination and protect them from the coronavirus *, ”said Health Minister Holetschek on Wednesday.
"As planned, the Free State is therefore making 6000 vaccination doses from Johnson & Johnson * available for special vaccination campaigns." The aim is to reach people on site with mobile teams from the vaccination centers.
It started on Wednesday at the table in Augsburg *. “The municipalities know best where there is a need on site, for example in which districts of the city. Local social institutions, social welfare offices, integration advisory boards, associations and religious communities, among others, offer them support, ”said the Minister of Health. The boards are also an important point of contact. Holetschek is supported by his CSU colleagues, Social Affairs Minister Carolina Trautner and Augsburg's Mayor Eva Weber. With the additional vaccination offer, you take into account people who have difficulty using regular vaccination and test offers, says Trautner.
