Berlin (dpa / bb) - Berlin's Senator for Economic Affairs Ramona Pop has pleaded for thinking about new ways of using corona vaccinations.

"We have to talk about whether we do not use the supplies for the second vaccination first vaccination," said the Green politician the "Tagesspiegel" (Friday).

“There is a discussion that younger people, thanks to their greater mobility, contribute more to the spread of the virus.

You can see this in the incidences in the age cohorts.

It would be worth considering offering vaccinations to these groups too, "said Pop.

“The question is whether we in Germany have the strength to set up the vaccination strategy again differently: The really vulnerable groups over 70 now have vaccination offers.

We should not prioritize more bureaucratically than necessary, but rather position ourselves more broadly. "

Pop also advocated that people who had already been vaccinated twice should be given significantly more freedom.

“It's not about privileges, but about the freedom of every individual.

That is the normal situation that we are talking about here, not a special right, ”emphasized the Senator for Economic Affairs.

“Of course, this seems unfair for everyone who has not yet been vaccinated.

But what does it help me personally if the vaccinated people have the same restrictions that I have myself?

Why shouldn't the many older people who have been vaccinated be able to enjoy their lives again? "

The Green politician demanded that the quarantine and movement restrictions should first be taken into account.

“There the state imposes on punishment not to leave the apartment.

That must be saved for vaccinated people. "

The restrictions on freedom of movement and travel could also be relaxed for vaccinated people.

Such questions of fundamental rights would come up first.

"Then there are the questions of everyday life, such as going to a restaurant or a hairdresser," says the Senator for Economic Affairs.

"We need at least equality between the vaccinated and those who tested negative."

However, certain rules should continue to apply to everyone.

"We will still have to keep our distance and wear a mask."
