The chairman of the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko), Thomas Mertens, is in favor of continuing to adhere to a fixed vaccination sequence in the current Corona situation.
The general practitioners' practices would have more work at the moment, said Mertens on Saturday on Deutschlandfunk.
As long as there is not enough vaccine, however, people at high risk of serious illnesses have to be vaccinated first.
This is the only way to relieve the intensive care units.
In addition, model calculations consistently showed that the third wave could not be broken by changing the sequence of vaccinations, emphasized the doctor.
He expressed the expectation that so much vaccine would be available in Germany by May or by the beginning of June at the latest that the prioritization would then be lifted.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) also promised this on Friday.
Meanwhile, Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier assumes that exceptions for corona vaccinated people can be discussed "in June or July".
