Berlin - Herd immunity against the corona virus is "not available at short notice".

World Medical Association President Frank Ulrich Montgomery told the

Funke

media on July 6th.

According to the new calculation models, the proportion of those vaccinated and recovered would have to be around 85 percent, according to Montgomery.

"The ten percent who do not want to be vaccinated to kill will achieve their immunity by going through an illness," said the head of the World Medical Association.

That will happen "if we drop all precautionary measures".

The key to success against the virus is as high a vaccination coverage as possible for the population, said Montgomery.

For this, the vaccine skeptics would have to be convinced and incentives set so that more people can be vaccinated.

"But I don't think we can do without the mask completely."

Corona in Germany: herd immunity not without vaccination of children?

The German Society for Immunology, however, assumes that herd immunity cannot be achieved without vaccinating children and adolescents.

That said their Vice President Reinhold Förster, also the

Funke

newspapers on Tuesday.

The Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) has not given a general vaccination recommendation for children from the age of twelve for the time being.

The nationwide 7-day incidence of new corona infections has fallen slightly again.

According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), it is currently 4.9.

On Sunday and Monday the value was given as 5.0, on Saturday as 4.9.

440 new corona infections and 31 deaths related to the virus were registered within 24 hours.

However, according to preliminary figures from the third week of June, the proportion of infections with the Delta variant doubled again to 37 percent.
