Tübingen (dpa / lsw) - The Tübingen theologian Elisabeth Gräb-Schmidt once again brought vaccination into play as a moral duty in a newspaper interview.

Even if the question of infection has not yet been clarified, at least the vaccinated are protected and at least less contagious, she told the Reutlinger Generalanzeiger (Monday).

“That means: We'll get out of this pandemic faster.

That is in the interest of the common good and also in the interest of the individual. "

But a moral duty is not a legal duty.

“It's not patronizing.

It appeals to the individual to make a contribution, ”said Gräb-Schmidt, who is also a member of the German Ethics Council.

Compulsory vaccination does not make sense if you do not know for sure that vaccinated people are not contagious, she told the newspaper.

"It would be conceivable for certain job-specific groups, but that doesn't make sense at the moment."

One could not prescribe something against their will for the nurses who were at the attack with their work that was already problematic.

“In addition, the unwillingness to vaccinate among the carers is more or less a rumor that was started in the world anyway.

It is not that the carers are generally more reluctant to be vaccinated than other people. "
