The soccer record champions do not want to put pressure on unvaccinated players.
CEO Oliver Kahn and President Herbert Hainen also emphasized the clear corona position of the German record champions on Monday evening in Munich.
“First of all, it is important that we have a clear stance that we can only recommend that everyone get vaccinated.
We underscored this with several campaigns, ”said Kahn before the premiere of the documentary series“ FC Bayern - Behind The Legend ”, which can be seen exclusively on Prime Video from November 2nd, in a Munich cinema.
"Ultimately, you have to respect that when one or the other has a different opinion," added Kahn specifically to Kimmich.
"It is very important - and it is our duty as an association - to constantly provide educational services."
Club president Hainer also once again emphasized the importance of a high vaccination rate for coping with the corona pandemic.
“FC Bayern is sustainably supporting the vaccination campaign.
At the end of the day there is no compulsory vaccination with us.
It is the decision of each individual, and you have to accept that, ”said Hainer.
"Joshua Kimmich said yes, maybe he will also be vaccinated.
I would be happy. "
Bavaria's honorary president Uli Hoeneß did not want to speak specifically about Kimmich on the red carpet in front of the cameras and reporters, who has not yet been vaccinated.
The 26-year-old expressed his personal "concerns" when he confessed in a TV interview at the weekend.
"I have an opinion on this, but only for himself," said Hoeneß when asked about Kimmich.
In the six series parts of the documentary about FC Bayern, Germany's top club grants exclusive glimpses behind the scenes and into the inner workings of the team.
"It was important to us to create closeness and moments for our fans that they have never seen from FC Bayern," said Kahn.
