The obligation to vaccinate in the healthcare system is well intentioned, but it weakens a systemically important area.
One professional group alone cannot bear the responsibility for protecting vulnerable groups.
A comment.

- The facility-related vaccination requirement is a makeshift policy.
A general obligation to vaccinate does not appear socially feasible in the short term.
For a transitional period, a special rule in the healthcare system should ensure a better quota – and better protection for the most vulnerable people.
The care sector is absolutely systemically relevant.
We cannot afford to be down due to numerous layoffs – even if it is “only” from kitchen staff, administrative staff or cleaning people.
Not the facilities, but the health department checks in individual cases whether an employment ban is imposed - and will refrain from doing so if possible in order to avoid a collapse.
So the quick shot of politics remains one thing above all: a fist in the face of all those who have had the hardest part of the pandemic, who have been working at the limit for all of us for two years.
In return, we must not burden them with the sole responsibility for protecting vulnerable groups.
We all bear this responsibility.
If vaccination is the only true way out of the pandemic, then we must all walk it together.
Because it is difficult to explain why the nurse has to be vaccinated, but not his patient.
