Corona in Bavaria: Holetschek calls on students to be vaccinated
He called on everyone over the age of twelve to be vaccinated before the end of the vacation. “There is still enough time to start the first week of school with the first vaccination. This can also reduce the risk of infection for classmates. ”
The number of infections among children is currently increasing, according to Holetschek. According to the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL), the incidences * in the 12 to 15 year old age group were around 130 and in the 16 to 19 year old age group around 192. 8 percent of 12 to 17 year olds were first vaccinated and 21.9 percent were second vaccinated.
