According to new information, Germany recorded 3 deaths within 24 hours. Four people died a week ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has detected 3,821,013 cases of Sars-CoV-2 infection. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher.
RKI stated that the number of people who have recovered is 3,679,500. The number of people who died or was confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,867.
Pediatrician: Protect children from re-blocking through vaccination
German pediatricians must Standing Vaccination Committee (Stiko) called for the psychosocial issues of this age group to be taken into account in the debate on general corona vaccination recommendations for children between 12 and 17 years of age. “Stiko is based solely on the personal benefit of vaccinations related to the risk of disease,” Thomas Fischbach, president of the German Society of Child and Adolescent Medicine, told the Funke Media Group newspaper. “The collateral damage of the psychosocial development of children and adolescents is not considered.”
Fischbach criticized that the psychosocial problems of children and adolescents in the new crown crisis have never been the subject of Stiko’s suggestion. “I personally think that Stiko can change some aspects of these measures,” he said. It also involves protecting children from further harm in the event of new corona measures or another blockade by the education sector. “Unfortunately, the Permanent Vaccination Committee has not paid attention to this aspect,” Fischbach criticized.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved Biontech and Moderna vaccines since the age of 12. In Germany, despite political pressure, Stiko generally does not recommend vaccinating children and adolescents, but only if the risk of a more severe corona course is higher. Under the advice of a doctor, the vaccine can still be vaccinated. According to Fischbach, so far, about 1 million of the 4.5 million children and adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 in Germany have been vaccinated.
The British government will provide the first vaccination for all 16- and 17-year-olds by August 23. Health Minister Sajid Javid said on Sunday: “This will allow us to ensure that all students in these age groups receive comprehensive vaccination and protection when they return to school in September.”
