Many criticisms after his appearance on television: the section chief justifies the slow start of vaccination

The decision as to whether people who are already infected with the virus should also be vaccinated rests with the respective households. However, the disease does not automatically mean immunity to the virus.

The question of why the vaccination process was not better prepared also remains open. After all, they had known for several weeks that the vaccine would soon be ready. “There were a lot of topics that we discussed that then changed again and then had to be incorporated,” Reich said. He cited as an example the late approval of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

“We’ve been doing something about it for months,” Reich responded when asked why a campaign to increase willingness to vaccinate had not been started much earlier, when it was known that the highest possible vaccination rate would be important.

It is true that answering these questions is somewhat difficult for Reich. She herself has only been a section chief at the Ministry of Health since mid-December. In social networks there was strong criticism of the Minister of Health, Rudolf Anschober (Greens), why he did not ask the questions of the moderator Armin Wolf himself in this explosive situation.
