Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Hesse's Minister of Social Affairs Kai Klose (Greens) has called on the employees of old people's and care facilities to be vaccinated against the corona virus.
«I would like to ask you urgently: Take the opportunity yourself and get vaccinated to protect your own health and that of those around you.
In this way you contribute to effectively protecting yourself, your families and friends as well as your colleagues and the people who are entrusted to you from the dangerous Sars-CoV-2 virus, ”said a letter from the minister all nurses in the Hessian retirement and care facilities, which is available to the German press agency
He is convinced that the vaccinations will make it possible to contain the pandemic in the course of this year, emphasized Klose.
“At some point we will all be immune to the virus - because we were either infected with the virus or have been vaccinated.
The second option is much safer ».
At the same time, the minister thanked the nursing staff for their commitment in the fight against the coronavirus in the facilities.
"The pandemic affects every one of us in everyday life and at work - unfortunately you, as caregivers in the facilities, especially," the letter said.
When looking after and caring for people in this difficult situation, the nursing staff went to their physical and psychological limits "and often beyond".
That is why the state of Hesse decided to increase the Corona care bonus and thus honor the extraordinary commitment.
