Hanover (dpa / lno) - The Catholic bishop of the Hildesheim diocese, Heiner Wilmer, has warned against taking young people into account too late when vaccinating against Corona.

“The generation between childhood and adulthood runs the risk of no longer being able to gather experiences that are important for their lives.

That is why I advocate that young people are vaccinated as early and as quickly as possible so that we can avert lasting damage to society, ”Wilmer told the political journal“ Rundblick ”(Tuesday edition).

The chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, Dirk Toepffer, warned against classifying the order solely according to age groups. Rather, it is about which groups primarily need protection. "At the top for me are the employees in the health system," Toepffer told the journal. They are needed to care for and care for sick people. The further order should be based on similar criteria.
