Hanover (dpa) - TUI boss Fritz Joussen is in favor of giving the preparation Sputnik V from Russia more opportunities when the population is “vaccinated” as quickly as possible against the corona virus.
"I also think it's good that the Russian Sputnik vaccine, for example, is making its way to Europe," said the tourism manager of the German Press Agency in Hanover.
Deliveries from other manufacturers would also pick up speed in the coming weeks, Joussen believes.
“Johnson & Johnson is also coming.
And Biontech in Marburg has a huge capacity. "
For the tourism industry, evidence of immunizations or at least negative virus tests are crucial in order to be able to bring more customers to vacation spots again.
The industry is one of the hardest hit by the pandemic due to the slump in demand.
"The vaccination status is already good in many places," said Joussen, referring to the involvement of general practitioners.
“The tests are also being expanded and used more intensively.
Therefore there are fewer and fewer reasons why one should restrict personal rights. "
When worrying about additional mutations that could require further development of some vaccines, one must remain prudent.
"Our medical advisors say: So far, today's vaccines have all been effective," Joussen emphasized.
"And even if there should be a mutation for which vaccines do not work so well, they still have a positive effect and are not completely ineffective."
It is always about the most stable relative protection possible.
