County council partially praises mandatory vaccination
The German District Association has praised the agreement between the federal states and the Federal Chancellor on compulsory vaccination for nursing staff as well as for employees in nursing homes and other facilities. “This is a correct and necessary step that must be implemented under federal law as quickly as possible,” said President Reinhard Sager to the editorial network in Germany. “With intensive care units filling up, still 15 million unvaccinated people and an increasing incidence, we need a lot of energy overall.”

We are not in favor of a general vaccination requirement, but it could well be that we will soon get to this point “said Sager.
