12:12 pm | Vaccinations required at universities
Representatives of the universities are calling for the Covid-19 vaccinations for students to start earlier.

Vaccination offers until September would be too late for the winter semester. Possible solutions, according to Alt, could be keeping vaccination centers open for students, involving universities and university medicine and university company doctors. Vaccinations are urgently required for students, since university teaching does not take place in classes, but in changing constellations with high mobility. The universities could therefore only return to regular operations with very high vaccination rates.

11:00 am | Braun dampens expectations of vaccinations
Chancellery Minister Helge Braun is dampening the expectation that children and young people could be vaccinated against Covid-19 from June 7th. In the ARD “Morgenmagazin” the CDU politician said that the lifting of the prioritization did not mean that half of the population could get vaccinated immediately. An offer to everyone by mid-September and then also to children from the age of twelve is realistic.
