Berlin (dpa) - The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has again called for a debate about mandatory vaccination for nursing staff in old people's and nursing homes.
"We have to think about whether we should particularly increase the protection for the particularly highly sensitive areas, that is the old people's and nursing homes," said Söder in the morning in the ZDF "Morgenmagazin".
If you hear and read that few nurses want to be vaccinated there, you have to discuss it.
"The German Ethics Council should deal with it," said Söder.
The CSU boss had previously expressed himself accordingly in the "Süddeutsche Zeitung".
In some areas, such as measles, there is already a compulsory vaccination.
"If you compare measles with corona, the danger and importance of corona is of course much higher," he said.
That is why there is now a need for a social debate and a parallel vaccination campaign to increase the general willingness to vaccinate.
"There will be and should not be a general compulsory vaccination," emphasized Söder.
