The SPD politician wants to introduce the compulsory corona vaccination as soon as possible in clinics and homes.
He can also imagine compulsory vaccination for the general public.
Berlin - Now it should go very quickly: In the debate on measures, the Managing Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil wants to implement a partial vaccination requirement before the holidays.

Bild am Sonntag (BamS) .
Heil also advocates a general compulsory vaccination.
In addition, there is a "moral obligation to vaccinate" for professional athletes.
“The most important thing is that more people get vaccinated.
This also applies to those who earn a lot and are in the limelight, for example professional soccer players.
There is a moral obligation to vaccinate, "said Heil.
