Federal states return vaccination doses
To date, this incidence has been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the Federal Emergency Brake that expires at the end of June. In the future, more consideration will be given to other values such as hospital admission.
According to new information, Germany recorded 4 deaths within 24 hours. This is a death a week ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has counted 3,790,766 detected Sars-CoV-2 infections. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher. RKI states that the number of people who have recovered is 3,665,400. The number of people who died or was confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 91,782.
At the same time, according to a newspaper report, given the low demand for coronavirus vaccines, the federal states hope to return at least 2.3 million doses of unused vaccines to the federal government. This is the result of a survey conducted by Welt am Sonntag. Accordingly, 14 federal states are planning to return and will report the figures to the Federal Ministry of Health by Monday. Bavaria is still determining the number of cans to be redistributed. Schleswig-Holstein did not provide any information. Only Thrall did not think it necessary.
In a letter, the Federal Ministry of Health gave the federal states the opportunity to “save vaccine doses that are no longer used in national vaccination campaigns, and their storage is allowed to be passed on to third countries as part of the donation” to the central government. Federal government warehouse. The vaccine should be stable for at least two months. Vaccines from doctors’ offices and company doctors should not be returned. First, the vaccines from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson will return to the federal government.
According to Welt am Sonntag, 1.05 million doses of vaccine are no longer needed in North Rhine-Westphalia alone. Baden-Württemberg wants to return more than 450,000, Hesse 185,200 and Saxony 150,000. Brandenburg reported the least number of returns at 30,500. In early July, the Federal Cabinet decided to distribute at least 30 million doses of vaccine to developing countries and other countries. The Minister of Development Gerd Müller (CSU) told Welt am Sonntag: “We should gradually increase the number because there are enough vaccines available in Germany now.” It is incomprehensible if vaccines that are urgently needed elsewhere expire in Germany.
At the same time, Alliance faction leader Ralph Brinkhouse called for a change of opinion to consider vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Brinkhouse told Welt am Sonntag: “There is too much discussion about the so-called indirect mandatory vaccination, but too little discussion about the rights of the vaccinated.” The people who were not vaccinated were angry. The vaccinated people made an appointment, went out and accepted the fact that they sometimes felt uncomfortable the day after being vaccinated. And they are experiencing now that they still haven’t fully regained their freedom. “That’s why the last question must be asked to what extent the unvaccinated people limit the lives of the vaccinated people.
Brinkhaus assumes that hoteliers, clubs and event organizers will only allow vaccinated people into their homes in the future. “I am a member of the Caution team, but in the next 30 years, we cannot put our lives under Covid. We need to get back to normal as soon as possible, not a few years later. The remaining risks will still exist, but we will Have to deal with it.” On Tuesday, in view of the rising number of new coronaviruses, state ministers wanted to discuss with the federal government how to proceed.
