In the discussion about special rules and more freedoms for corona vaccinated people, Hamburg's Second Mayor Katharina Fegebank (Greens) called for solidarity and spoke out against early special rights.

“At the moment there is not yet an offer for everyone to get vaccinated.

It is therefore important that those who have been vaccinated show solidarity with the others, "she said in an interview with the Hamburg Journal of the NDR.

According to the Green politician, “there should be no first and second class people”.

60 to 70 percent of people would first have to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.

Only at this point in time and when everyone has the offer to get vaccinated will it be time to put all basic rights back into force.

According to the health authority, Hamburg received around 29,000 vaccine doses as planned by Wednesday.

Of these, around 24,750 cans were still available, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

1250 doses were sent to the clinics, around 1500 residents and employees in nursing homes had already been vaccinated, and another 1500 doses had been put aside for their second vaccination.
