Berlin (dpa) - Her vaccination was "very, very good," said German TV celebrity Carmen Geiss (55), who lives in Monaco, two weeks ago in a video on her Facebook page.
"I haven't grown a sixth finger on any hand - but if that is still the case, of course, I'll keep you informed."
More and more celebrities are reporting and promoting their corona vaccination.
In the “Sleeves up” campaign of the federal government, for example, the actress Uschi Glas (77) says: “I haven't had my grandson in my arms for over a year.
That's why I'm getting vaccinated.
We'll take our lives back with a little spade. "
Since the celebrities assert their possible influence on fans, they are now gladly called - pun - «Impfluencer» (from influencer / influencer).

Carmen Geiss said that people from her circle of friends died who would probably still be alive with a vaccination.
She wants to be able to move again as before.
"You are not preferred here either," she said, referring to her adopted home Monaco.
"It was the turn of the year and that's why we got the vaccination."
All older people are vaccinated, now it goes down in sequence.
Uschi Glas says in the government campaign's online and TV commercial: “People used to die of typhus and smallpox.
Thanks to vaccinations, these diseases are then, thank God, gone. "
It wouldn't be the year 2021 and the age of the internet if everyone liked the spot with Uschi Glas.
On Youtube, there are also negative comments and disrespectful sayings under the promotional video.
The television actress, known as a CSU supporter, is said to have received an expense allowance for the spot, other celebrities such as presenter Günther Jauch (64) and goalkeeper legend Sepp Maier (77) participate free of charge, according to the Ministry of Health.

The selection of celebrities seems to show that the campaign is primarily aimed at the elderly.
After all, there is currently a vaccination offer almost only for this age group.
Younger people still have to be patient because there is not enough vaccine available - unless they belong to the risk group themselves, are close contact persons of those at risk or work in the health care system.
It should be possible that in a few weeks younger celebrities will be hired and pop stars or internet starlets will then advertise vaccinations.
According to a representative survey by the YouGov opinion research institute on behalf of the German Press Agency (March 30th to April 1st), willingness to vaccinate among adults in Germany has fallen slightly since the beginning of the year.
In mid-January, 67 percent said they wanted to be vaccinated.
Now there are 57 percent plus about 8 percent who have already been vaccinated - so together 65 percent.
18 percent do not want to be vaccinated, 16 percent have not yet made a decision or did not provide any information.
The government is aiming with the campaign, which includes not only celebrities, but also teachers and general practitioners, to strengthen vaccination readiness.
People should make an informed decision well in advance of their personal vaccination offer.
