Berlin (dpa) - The Union for Education and Science (GEW) sees hopes about possible vaccinations of children in the summer with skepticism.
GEW boss Marlis Tepe told the newspapers of the Funke media group that at the pace that had previously only been presented for protective measures in schools, it was difficult “to imagine that children and young people could be vaccinated on such a large scale from June onwards to switch largely from distance and alternating courses to face-to-face teaching before the summer holidays ».
It was the wish that it would be possible to offer children and adolescents a vaccination offer soon, Tepe made clear.
However, in which period this all works, is "still a lot of reading coffee grounds".
In addition, the prerequisites for this would have to be created.
"Currently there is still a lot of health protection for teachers, children and young people and their parents," said Tepe.
To this day, most teachers have not yet received an anti-Covid injection, not even those who belonged to a risk group.
