Compulsory vaccination against Corona in Germany? Doctors’ Association makes demands on politicians
Medical representatives therefore warn of an overload in the intensive care units because more and more corona patients are being treated there. In Bavaria in particular, planned operations would have to be postponed due to Corona, reports the medical association “Marburger Bund”. Representatives of the association are therefore now calling for certain professional groups * such as nurses, medical staff, teachers and daycare workers to be vaccinated.
Such a vaccination against Corona does not yet exist in this country. In contrast to countries like France and Greece, for example for hospital staff. In France, for example, firefighters or gendarmerie officers must also be vaccinated against corona. Failure to comply could result in suspension without continued payment of wages.

The “Marburger Bund” is also in favor of expanding the 2G rule *, which states that only those who have been vaccinated or recovered may, for example, take part in events. In cinemas, museums or restaurants, for example, application of the 2G rule would counter the spread of Corona *, said Johna, “that’s why, from our point of view, it would be good to implement this across the board”. Both 2G and a possible vaccination requirement for certain professions polarize in Germany.
In the summer, the German Ethics Council had criticism practiced on the vaccination debate. Europe’s ethics council chairman Christiane Woopen had the Rheinische Post explains: “A compulsory vaccination would only be justified in the most extreme emergency, if the health situation got completely out of hand.
