Berlin (dpa / bb) - The topic of vaccination plays a central role on the agenda of the Berlin Senate at its meeting on Tuesday.

The members of the Senate advise on the start of vaccinations in priority group three, for example those over 60 years of age, close contact persons of those in need of care, people at high risk of a serious or fatal course of the disease, teachers and educators to further and higher education belong to vocational schools.

You can make vaccination appointments since Monday.

There is no longer any need for a vaccination invitation with a booking code.

Some organizational details are still open.

This applies to the public service, for example.

Employees of the Berlin administration are only entitled to vaccinate if they work in a “particularly relevant position”.

This is to be determined by the agency management in coordination with the respective staff council.

However, only 12 percent of employees should receive a certificate required for vaccination.

According to reports, there is still a need for clarification on the subject.

This also applies to the question of standards for the certificates from employers, which should serve as proof of a vaccination entitlement.

The senators also want to discuss what the lifting of the vaccination prioritization, which is expected in June, would mean for Berlin.

Then there is no longer a fixed order for which groups are entitled to vaccination.

Critics fear a punch and sting about the vaccination appointments.

The members of the Senate want to exchange ideas about what further easing is possible for those who have been completely vaccinated and those who have recovered.

In Berlin, those who have been vaccinated have been treated as equals with people with a current negative test result since mid-April.

Just last week, the Senate decided that this should also apply to those who have recovered.

So, for example, you can go shopping or the hairdresser without a corona test.

How much more they should be allowed is controversial.

This is also an issue at the federal level; the federal government is planning a uniform regulation.
