Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The left in the Hamburg citizenship has accused the Senate of oversleeping the corona vaccination of prisoners.

"It is shameful that there are apparently no preparations for the implementation of the vaccinations in the prisons," said the judicial policy spokeswoman for the group, Cansu Özdemir, on Thursday to the response of the red-green Senate to a question she asked.

So far it has not even been determined how many and which prisoners belonged to a risk group.

"Although prisoners are often in very bad health."

Özdemir asked for a vaccination plan.

In response to the question from the left-wing politician, the Senate emphasized that the vaccination of prisoners and employees was an important next step for the correctional facilities and had high priority.

The federal government has determined the sequence for the vaccinations.

"The plans for the implementation of the vaccinations are not yet completed," it said.

The procedure depends, among other things, on the time and amount of vaccine deliveries.

Until a nationwide vaccination in the prisons, individual authorized inmates could be brought to the vaccination center.
