Berlin – Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach continues to rely on a majority in the Bundestag for the introduction of general corona vaccination. “We are fighting for compulsory vaccination,” said the SPD politician to the daily newspaper “taz” (weekend). She is still necessary. “We still have so many unvaccinated people that we will have serious problems again in the fall without compulsory vaccination.” The vaccination rate is now not being increased “by another vaccination campaign, but only by compulsory vaccination”.
He is working to ensure “that in the end there is a joint application and that many Union MPs take their state responsibility seriously,” said Lauterbach. “If restrictions are necessary again in the fall, everyone will remember who prevented compulsory vaccination for party political reasons.”
Lauterbach has already made it clear that he supports a push by several members of the traffic light coalition for compulsory vaccination from the age of 18. With a view to the draft of another group for mandatory advice and then a possible vaccination requirement only from the age of 50, he said: “This risks high numbers of cases among younger people. With a variant like Delta, there would be severe courses in younger people, in diabetics, those with previous cancer, overweight and people with impaired kidney function. » (dpa)
