COVID: Incoming chancellor Scholz wants vaccine mandate in Germany​

Germany could make coronavirus vaccines mandatory as early as February or March 2022, according to chancellor-in-waiting Olaf Scholz. But he insisted that the issue would be decided in parliament.

As Germany faces record-breaking infection numbers and fears of the omicron variant abound, Angela Merkel's designated successor Olaf Scholz is calling for a general vaccine mandate.

Talking to Germany's Bild television on Tuesday, the chancellor-in-waiting said he would like to see mandatory vaccinations "not too far away in the future, so I suggest beginning of February or March."

At the same time, he said that the decision would be made in the parliament, and that it would be a "matter of conscience" for individual lawmakers.

Germany's Federal Medical Association also called for a vaccine mandate to put a stop to the "endless loop of lockdowns."

It urged the German government to make arrangements that would apply to "all adult citizens with no medical contra-indications against a vaccine."

The question of mandatory vaccination is considered controversial in Germany, partly due to forced medical treatments during the Nazi-era.

Separately, spokesman for the outgoing German government Steffen Seibert said a decision on the vaccine mandate would be made "soon.

Pharmacists to be allowed to give vaccines​


The latest comments come after Scholz and outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel attended a video-conference with the premiers of Germany's 16 federal states.

The country's top officials agreed to boost the vaccination campaign by administering 30 million more vaccines before Christmas, according to Seibert.

In order to achieve this, they will include new categories of people who are allowed to administer jabs. This will most likely include pharmacists. However, final conclusions from the meeting won't be published before Thursday, according to the statement.

Some 68.5% of Germany's population of roughly 83 million have been fully vaccinated.

What else is being discussed?​


According to Reuters news agency, Scholz also supported the idea of introducing so-called 2G rules for customers in retail stores, meaning they must be either vaccinated ("geimpft") or have recovered ("genesen") from COVID-19. The rules would not apply in supermarkets or drugstores.

Reuters said that Scholz had pledged to make changes to the Infection Protection Act to provide "states with high infection rates with a suitable set of instruments."

Scholz also introduced Major General Carsten Breuer as the head of a planned COVID crisis team to be set up when the new coalition government commences work. The team is to primarily speed up Germany's vaccination program, including the administering of booster injections.

States governed by premiers from Scholz's Social Democrats (SPD) called for the the protection given by vaccination to be officially recognized only for six months, the daily Rheinische Post reported, citing the waning efficacy of the vaccines after that period.

Lockdowns loom large​


Also on Tuesday, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the "emergency brake" imposed by the federal government from April to June was compatible with the constitution. Under the measure, districts and regions were required to implement curfews, contact restrictions and other curbs when the infection rate rose above certain levels.

Several state premiers have called for similar nationwide measures to be reintroduced as Germany struggles to contain a fourth wave of the pandemic that has recently been additionally complicated by the advent of the omicron variant.

They should do it here too! It was absurd to see the demonstration going on here. Those anti-vaxx people are not even educated and will come with the dumbest arguments

Abu Dhabi has basically been like this for over a year now. Can't go anywhere like supermarkets, malls, cafes, restaurants, public gyms or basically anywhere without having been PCR tested before the vaccine was a thing. I think the test was valid for 3 days before the vaccine and now it's valid for 30 days after being vaccinated. And of course most employers, schools and Unis demand it and now they've introduced fines for the unvaccinated. But this is a monarchical country. Didn't think the west would slowly begin taking notes.

The DSA metro area hasn't been as stringent at all. All we've had to contend with since the short lockdowns around March to June last year has been mask wearing in public with fines if you don't wear one. Though they have also introduced fines for being unvaccinated now and you can't enter government buildings without having been vaccinated which is what ultimately prompted me to get the jab. Like in AD employers, schools and Unis also tend to require being vaccinated.
