The summer holidays in Hamburg will end in less than two weeks and the students will return to their classrooms. Many politicians are afraid of increasing numbers of infections. The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has now also commented on vaccination in schools – and was promptly put in his place on Twitter by Hamburg’s top vaccinator.
“We have to decide on a common vaccination program for schoolchildren!”, The CSU tweeted the statements of Markus Söder on Friday evening. The Standing Vaccination Commission (StiKo) is skeptical, but a higher vaccination rate is needed, the post said.
Hamburg’s top vaccination doctor railed against CSU
Hamburg’s chief vaccination doctor, Dr. Dirk Heinrich did not leave this statement uncommented and countered on Twitter: “Vaccination decisions are still to be made by patient and doctor in the light of scientific evidence and not by the CSU – thank God !!!”
