D.he man is wearing a dark blue polo shirt, his left sleeve pulled all the way up. He is sitting in a soberly furnished treatment room in the Berlin Army Hospital. An officer whose uniform identifies her as a member of the medical service quickly sticks a plaster on. Shortly before, the man received his booster vaccination against the coronavirus. The scene was three weeks ago, at the end of October, a Thursday. The vaccinated person does not wear his glasses, a white mask covers his mouth and nose. Only at second glance does it become clear which patient is being seen. It is Jens Spahn, the acting Federal Minister of Health, member of the CDU, 41 years old.
It is certain that vaccinated people will have to refresh their vaccination protection at some point. But scientists still do not have a precise answer to the question of when this has to happen – also because everyone reacts differently to the vaccine. Nevertheless, a debate has just broken out about how the so-called boosters should be brought to the people. Who is it when and who has to wait. Ulrich Weigeldt sees the blame for this primarily on Spahn. He speaks of “miserable crisis communication by the executive federal government”. The chairman of the German Association of General Practitioners demands that the refresher courses must be carried out in an “orderly manner”.
