Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has again spoken out in favor of completely revising the current vaccination strategy.
“By April at the latest, every can of vaccine must be vaccinated wherever possible,” said Söder at a joint press conference with Sachen's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU).
Söder advocated that general practitioners, company doctors and school doctors should also make vaccinations.
This is the only way to make up the "dramatic backlog in vaccination," criticized the CSU boss.
"We have to catch up and have to get better."
He also called for additional vaccine doses from the EU and the federal government for corona hotspots.
This means that the pandemic can be combated more effectively, says the CSU boss.
Bavaria and Saxony would for their part give the Czech Republic rapid tests and vaccination doses.
The Czech Republic wants to vaccinate commuters, for example, which in turn would improve the situation in Germany.
Söder also warned against “flying blind into the third wave”.
In the group with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) on Wednesday there should be “no opening frenzy”, but there must be “a clever and balanced opening”.
"We have to find the right balance between caution and opening up."

Meanwhile, according to media reports, Greens boss Robert Habeck is calling for every citizen to have two quick tests per week.
He suggested equating these rapid tests with vaccinations and proof of immunity.
This could avoid the unequal treatment of vaccinated and non-vaccinated people, write the "Spiegel" and the "Business Insider", citing a concept developed by Habeck for alternatives to lockdown.
