Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder has announced that the federal state will benefit those who have obeyed the calls of doctors and politicians and have reached (or will run out of) the third booster dose of covid-19.
–
People with the third dose will not have to prove by an additional test that they are negative. Confirmations have so far been required in Bavaria from those who have been vaccinated and healed for entry to swimming pools, theaters, cinemas and zoos. Vaccines also needed the test for a short time on the Bavarian slopes, which was eventually canceled by Söder’s provincial government.
–
Those who have “only” two doses – that is, what is still considered completed vaccination – are not covered by the benefit.
–
“The booster dose replaces the test. The benefit is valid after 15 days from the third dose, “the agencies quoted Söder, who spoke in favor of compulsory vaccination at a press conference. And as the server pointed out Focus, he set an example all the time: when he wasn’t talking, he always put back the respirator with Bayern ‘s coat of arms.

The only exception where revaccination will not be enough are homes for the elderly. Bavaria wants to maintain a stricter regime in these facilities, as it considers seniors to be the most vulnerable group.
–
Bavaria, like all of Germany, has tightened quarantine conditions due to the rapid spread of coronavirus. Only vaccinated people and people who have overcome the disease can go to shops that do not sell daily necessities, as well as to restaurants.
–
Tightening of the measures and the pressure to get people to the boosting third dose have raised fears around the world of the highly contagious coronavirus variant of omicron.
–
“No one can say how much omicron vaccines work. So there is only one option: to increase your protection as much as you can, “said Söder.
–
The United States is already talking about changing the definition of who can be considered fully vaccinated. US government chief epidemiologist Anthony Fauci said in an interview with CNN last week that “it is not a question of whether, but when” only those who have been given a booster third dose of the vaccine will be considered fully vaccinated.
–
Fauci justified this by saying that there is growing evidence that the booster offers more protection than just two doses. “If we want to talk about optimal protection, I don’t think anyone would agree that the third dose is the protection,” Fauci said.
–
And in the same vein, BioNTech founder Ugur Sahin was heard. In German Mirror was in favor – with regard to omicron – for earlier vaccination with the third dose. “As far as omicron is concerned, the two doses are not yet a complete vaccination with sufficient protection. “If the omicron continues to spread as it looks, it would make scientific sense to offer a booster after three months,” Sahin said.
