Karliczek: Vaccination out of solidarity with children
Federal Minister of Education Anja Kallicek Calls on adults to be vaccinated against coronavirus-also out of solidarity with children and young people. “Especially now, when the number of infections rises again, all adults should express their solidarity with children and adolescents as much as possible, because those who have not been vaccinated will take advantage of vaccination,” CDU politician said in the newspaper . Fink Media Group. “The unity of adults will be a very important contribution to enable the school to function normally after the summer vacation.”
Karliczek argued: “There is no approved vaccine for young children, and it is not recommended for children and adolescents 12 years of age and older. Therefore: the less the virus spreads among adults, the less threat it poses to young people. Children and adolescents may also be seriously ill. We know very little about the growth of the new coronavirus in children and adolescents.”
“Vaccination progress is lagging behind”
Patient advocates accuse the younger generation of lack of willingness to vaccinate. “Although 2 million people can be vaccinated every day, because the vaccination progress of young and middle-aged people is lagging behind, only 500,000 doses are needed,” said Eugen Brysch, Director of Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung, German Patient Protection Foundation. Now is the time “Now young people also show their solidarity with vaccination in the pandemic.”
Brysch told the newspaper that they repeatedly complained that the boys had to give up their freedom for the elderly. The fact that their willingness to vaccinate is so low now shows that “the accusation is not wrong.” On the other hand, those over the age of 60 will “make their own contribution to the fight against the pandemic with the estimated 90% of the full vaccination quota.” Already 85% of people in this age group will accept the vaccination proposal.
