In Bavaria, any prioritization in the vaccination centers is to be lifted this week.
Munich - This was announced by Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) on Monday after a vaccination summit in the State Chancellery in Munich.
So far, vaccinations have only been approved for all people in medical practices.
It is important that there is more flexibility in vaccinations.
"There must be no vaccine left over," said Söder.
Should doctors or practices not need or access vaccines, this would have to be reported in the future so that the vaccine can then be passed on to the vaccination centers.
According to Söder, 70 percent of people in the Free State should have received at least one corona vaccination by the start of the summer holidays in Bavaria at the end of July.
Part of the vaccination plan is that 50 percent of the population should have received the second vaccination by the end of July.
By the end of September, 85 percent of those over the age of 18 should have full vaccination protection.
Söder emphasized that there should be no "vaccination lull" in summer.
Doctors increasingly reported that the willingness to vaccinate was decreasing somewhat.
One or the other wants to go on vacation, appointments are repeatedly canceled.
"We feel tired in one or the other," he said.
But it still applies: The pandemic is not over yet, the delta variant in particular will remain a major challenge for unvaccinated people in the coming weeks and months.
