SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz has warned of a social division when vaccinating against the corona virus and defended the prioritization.

"Vaccination must not become a social issue," he told the editorial network Germany (Thursday).

"It is not the presence of doctors among friends or acquaintances that may decide whether to allocate vaccination appointments, but only the priority."

It is good that there is a mandatory vaccination sequence. "As long as the vaccine is scarce, we should keep it," said Scholz. "I would prefer we hold on to vaccination prioritization a little longer than if we risk a distribution battle for vaccine in which the wealthier with their networks and contacts ultimately prevail." According to him, municipalities and states should develop strategies to Vaccinating people in hot spots faster and with less threshold. "Nobody benefits if the posh suburbs are vaccinated, but the pandemic continues to rage in the socially disadvantaged areas."

On the subject of more freedom for fully vaccinated people, Scholz said: "We shouldn't let ourselves be guided by supposed justice debates on this issue, but only look at the question from a medical point of view." The question was whether a curfew for citizens, from whom no danger go out, makes sense from a virological point of view.

"I do not think so.

And then it can no longer be justified legally. "
