Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) is against compulsory corona vaccination for nursing staff.
The whole time they spoke out against compulsory vaccination in this pandemic, said the Green politician on Tuesday in Stuttgart on a corresponding proposal by the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU).
"We're not going to change that right now."
Nevertheless, he was in favor of the ethics council dealing with this question.
"I think that's very important."
Söder had said it was noticeable that many nurses did not want to be vaccinated.
Therefore, a debate must be held about compulsory vaccination for this professional group.
Kretschmann said that one should "advertise very strongly that the staff can be vaccinated".
Otherwise the mistrust grows in the population because they ask themselves: "Aha, they are closer, why don't they do that?"
He is also not sure whether it was the right decision that the heads of government in the country do not have priority vaccinations.
"I'm actually very much in favor of getting vaccinated in a way that is effective for the public."
If the leaders do not get vaccinated immediately, distrust also arises.
But he promised: "As soon as it's my turn, I'll get vaccinated."

Health Minister Manne Lucha (Greens) said, according to his information, about 60 percent of the nursing staff in nursing homes and hospitals in the southwest wanted to be vaccinated.
He reported that the federal and state health ministers also agreed in a switch on Monday that there could be no compulsory vaccination for nursing staff.
The tenor was: "We can't cause uncertainty again now."
Lucha assured himself: "I would also be vaccinated as the highest minister."
