Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony does not advocate compulsory vaccination for nurses
"We are rather cautious about the question of a duty," said State Chancellor Oliver Schenk (CDU) on Tuesday in Dresden.
Education and information are probably better suited to increasing acceptance: "We are aiming to achieve a high vaccination rate through persuasion and education."
Schenk reacted to a proposal by the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU).
On another topic, the Saxons are closer to Bavaria. Health Minister Petra Köpping (SPD) said on Tuesday after the cabinet meeting that FFP2 masks will have to be worn in retail and local transport in the future. Bavaria decided that on the same day. In Saxony, this only applies to nursing homes so far.
