The corona pandemic seems to be out of control. In order to stop the fourth wave, the compulsory vaccination is discussed. A likely scenario in Hamburg too.
Hamburg – The corona numbers keep increasing. In the Hanseatic City of Hamburg, too, the incidence has now reached a record high. The health authority gave the value on Thursday, November 18, 2021, with 189.6. More than ever since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. In order to be able to break the fourth corona wave as quickly as possible, politicians are also discussing compulsory vaccination for certain areas. In Hamburg it seems more and more likely.

Compulsory vaccination in Hamburg: Greens are in favor – parliamentary group chairmen do not rule out general compulsory vaccination
What does mandatory vaccination actually mean in connection with Corona? The compulsory vaccination is currently not (yet) discussed for society as a whole, but only for certain professional groups. Politicians consider a high vaccination rate to be necessary, especially in the nursing professions. But teachers, educators and doctors should also be obliged to vaccinate against the coronavirus according to the current political plans.

Jennifer Jasberg, leader of the Hamburg Greens parliamentary group, recently took a clear position on the question of compulsory vaccination in a current hour of the citizenry. “There was enough information, vaccination offers and the situation is dramatic enough to discuss compulsory vaccination,” said the politician. Jasberg fears that those who have not yet had themselves vaccinated can no longer be reached in any other way.
Therefore, she even went one step further with her demand: “I therefore very much welcome a federal policy of mandatory vaccination for certain areas. If this situation cannot be brought under control, with 2G and vaccination campaigns, we have to talk about a general vaccination requirement. ”
Compulsory vaccination in Hamburg: Northern SPD against general obligation – for individual groups “would be right”
Serpil Midyatli, SPD state chairwoman of Schleswig-Holstein, sees things a little differently. As she announced to the German Press Agency, a general vaccination requirement for the general public is simply not controllable. “Or do we want the police to go from house to house and check vaccination cards?” Midyatli threw into the room. Compulsory vaccination for certain occupational groups, on the other hand, would also be “correct” in their opinion, but would not solve the problem of a low vaccination rate.

Peter Tschentscher confirmed that the arguments in favor of compulsory vaccination for certain occupational groups in the Hamburg Senate are becoming more and more intense. However, he once again made it clear that such an obligation to vaccinate could only be decided by the federal government. Katharina Fegebank was also open to compulsory vaccination for certain groups in Hamburg. Should the federal government decide to make vaccinations compulsory, Hamburg would probably also enforce it. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
