“A vaccination obligation would be wrong.” The challenger of CDU / Csu, Armin Laschet, said this during the TV duel between the German candidates for the chancellery. “Rather, we must do everything to ensure that at school we remain in face-to-face teaching. It is very important for the boys who have lost so much this year ». For Laschet «the priority remains vaccination. Even beyond the party differences, appeals must be strengthened so that as many people as possible are vaccinated, many still have to be reached “
Annalena Baerbock replied, reminding him “that compulsory vaccination is not possible in Germany”. Even according to the leader of the Greens “the top priority is to leave schools and kindergartens open”. For his part, the Social Democrat Olaf Scholz states “that it is not yet possible to give a figure for a total reopening, it would not be serious: the level of vaccinations is still too low to promise an end to measures to combat the virus”.
