- Soon there should be a corona vaccine – what does life look like then?
- One thing is certain: there will not be enough doses of the corona vaccine for everyone at first
- Does that also mean that those who were first vaccinated can enjoy life again to the full? And what happens to the others?
The course of the global pandemic is about to take a decisive turn. A Mass vaccination against the highly contagious corona virus is within reach and with it the prospect of defeating the disease. But it is already clear that this fight will not lead to victory overnight, but that it will take time.
It is not a long time since that number was growing all at once Vaccination doses be available to immunize billions of people simultaneously. So the question arises of who gets it first and whether those who have been vaccinated will have to adhere to the corona requirements in the future.
Corona vaccinations: For some, the time to wear a mask could soon be over
Because as soon as someone after a vaccination before infection is protected and there is possibly no longer any risk of him transmitting the virus to others, there is no longer any reason to forego all the freedoms from before the pandemic.
Celebrate in a larger group, Hugs, trips, concerts and much more would be safe again. The time of mask-wearing would be over for this group of people. But new conflicts lurk.
It is already foreseeable that there will be a transition period in which the population will be divided into two groups: the unvaccinated people at risk of corona, who must continue to adhere to the protective measures, and the “free vaccinated”, who for themselves personally Leave the pandemic behind. There is a threat Two-class society.

Prime Minister Malu Dreyer warns of a division in society
Politicians also see this danger looming. The Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) said the “Bild am Sonntag”: “It will take a long time to get vaccinations and protect the population.”
When it comes to restrictions on public life, no distinction should be made between those who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated. Solidarity of all vaccinated people is necessary. Everyone would have to continue to follow the rules and the Mask requirement hold. Special events such as concerts only for vaccinated people are also not allowed.
• Comment:The federal government must make vaccination plans as transparent as possible
CDU politician: Concerts only with corona vaccination
Exactly this proposal, however, had the CDU health politician and MEP Peter Liese brought into play and spoken out in favor of additional freedoms for vaccinated people. For example, a corona vaccination could be a prerequisite for attending major events. Admission should only be granted to people with proof of this in their vaccination certificate.
Also Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) fears distribution conflicts at the start of the corona vaccinations in Germany. Initially, the amount of vaccines will be limited. According to the current status, there will be only three million vaccine doses in Germany in January for a double-digit million number of people willing to be vaccinated. Therefore there will be a “very hard prioritization”.
The minister expects emotional discussions, “it is not for nothing that concepts are being worked on, including police protection of the Vaccination centers“. There may be situations in which people would say, “I want to now,” but it’s not yet my turn. In his words, it is about finding a “balance between ethical principles and practicality”.

Spahn expects population groups to be prioritized for only a few months
Span emphasized that the federal government will clarify the order in which the vaccine will be awarded in the coming weeks on the basis of the expert recommendations. “An absolute one prioritization“Won’t be necessary for a very long period of time.
“We’re talking here for months,” said Spahn. He is confident that the pandemic will be under control in autumn or winter 2021 because sufficient vaccines will then be available. According to the plans of the federal government should risk groups how the elderly and the sick, employees in the health service and in central areas of general interest are vaccinated first.
Spahn named age as the “main criterion” for this. who Pre-existing illness need a certificate from the family doctor or specialist. He expects doctors to be open-minded about getting themselves vaccinated. But there will be no compulsory vaccination for them either.
A member of the Ethics Council considers mandatory vaccination for certain occupational groups to be conceivable
The Ethics Council member Steffen Augsberg however, considers compulsory vaccination possible at least for certain occupational groups or areas of activity. “Whether you actually need it, for example in intensive care units, depends on voluntary compliance,” said the Giessen law professor. For society as a whole, it will certainly remain the case that there will be no compulsory vaccination.
The German Ethics Council also advocates prioritizing vaccinations with the aim of severe Covid-19 courses and avoid deaths. Augsberg spoke out in favor of dealing with the issue in parliaments.
According to Augsberg, he believes “that we urgently need a legal basis in the German Infection Protection Act that contains the rough guidelines ”. A tiered procedure with the involvement of the legislature is necessary. The Scientific Service of the Bundestag considers a law to be necessary to regulate the order in which certain population groups are prioritized for access to vaccines.
