No additional rights should be given to all those who administer the new type of coronavirus vaccination, the German federal interior minister said in an interview on Sunday. Horst seehofer noted in the Bild am Sonntag that discriminating against those vaccinated would amount to making vaccination compulsory, but that vaccination should remain voluntary.

Together we enter the crisis, and together we must fight to get out of it in solidarity.

A politician from the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) stood out.

Asked what can be done if it is not public institutions but companies or social organizations such as airlines or sports associations that give the vaccinated an advantage, he said that this should be avoided because it would lead to the division of society.

The privilege of a man is to discriminate against another man

He pointed. The state must remain neutral in any case and cannot protect citizens. Medicine provides daily advice and practical guidelines for conduct, which is an important contribution to enlightenment and understanding, but there is a need for a policy of restraint in this area, the minister said.

8.6 million people will be vaccinated in the first phase

In Germany, according to a schedule announced by the federal government, the vaccination campaign officially began on Sunday. On Saturday, the distribution of the first 150,000 doses of vaccine among the provinces was completed. Delivery of the vaccine to the provinces is the responsibility of the federal government and the administration of the vaccine is organized by the provincial governments.

The government of the province of Saxony-Anhalt in the east of the country did not adhere to the schedule, the first vaccination was administered as early as Saturday afternoon, which was received with strong disapproval in the federal health ministry.

Thus, for the first time, a 101-year-old resident of the Halberstadt nursing home in the Harz Mountains, Edith kwoizalla received the first dose of a two-dose vaccine jointly developed by German BioNTech and American Pizer. In the first phase of the vaccination campaign, at the end of March, 8.6 million people in their 80s, residents and workers of nursing homes and nursing homes, and hospital doctors and nurses across the country will be vaccinated.

According to data from the Robert Koch National Institute of Public Health (RKI) on Sunday, 13,775 infections have been tested in the past 24 hours. Although this is a significant decrease from 22,771 in the previous week, it is mainly due to the fact that there are fewer labs in operation due to the holidays. There were 356 deaths related to the epidemic. The number of confirmed infections amounted to 1,640,858 and the number of deaths in the epidemic to 29,778 in Germany.
