Düsseldorf – In North Rhine-Westphalia, preparations for corona vaccinations in the age group of six to twelve year olds are to begin. Approval of vaccines for this age group by the European Medicines Agency can be expected shortly, said NRW Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) on Wednesday in the Düsseldorf state parliament. These vaccines are expected to be shipped from December 20th. He will ask the vaccination centers to start preparing offers for six to twelve year olds.
Above all, the minister sent the message to the economy: “We are doing everything we can to prevent a new lockdown.” To do this, however, the protection rules would also have to be followed. Access restrictions for non-vaccinated people are of no use if proof of immunity is not consistently checked. Laumann appealed to the actors in the economy to follow this and «to contribute to the fact that the situation remains manageable». (dpa)
