Berlin (dpa) - In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, CSU boss Markus Söder calls for significantly more vaccinations in the world of work and in families.
“We need company vaccinations, we need family vaccinations,” said the Bavarian Prime Minister on Sunday in the ARD program “Report from Berlin”.
The reason is that there is a high risk of infection in companies and families.
This must go hand in hand with an extensive release of vaccines, said Söder.
The prioritization according to age and occupational groups as well as clinical pictures made sense at the beginning, "but now it is increasingly developing into a time obstacle".
The vaccination is the "only chance" to contain the pandemic, said Söder - and urged more speed.
The vaccination centers work well, but the only way to do it faster is through the doctors.

In response to the debate on granting freedom rights to vaccinated and convalescent people, the CSU leader said that if someone was vaccinated, he could claim his rights again from the state.
This should now be done "well staggered in time".
The early lifting of restrictions is also an incentive to get vaccinated.
On Monday afternoon, a federal-state group will discuss the topic of vaccination.
Söder had previously suggested that all vaccines should be completely released for everyone as early as May and that schoolchildren over the age of 16 should also be vaccinated more.
Söder was critical of the demands of the SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz to set clear opening steps for the summer at the end of May.
"You can't make deals and plans with Corona," he said.
Daily exact plans would never have worked in the entire pandemic period.
Scholz's demand is therefore "more of a show battle than a wise suggestion."
