the Health ministers of the countries According to their chairmen, they largely agree that Corona vaccination obligation for nursing and health staff in a balanced and phased process implement. Even if many questions are still unanswered, the law should be implemented and implemented, said Petra Grimm-Benne (SPD) on Monday in Magdeburg. There is a great deal of agreement in the countries about a phased process from mid-March. However, no decision was made on the matter.
The affected employees should show proof of vaccination within 14 days, said Grimm-Benne. All those who still want to be vaccinated or who have just had a vaccination, for example, should be allowed to continue working. A distinction should also be made between workers who work directly on patients and those who do other jobs.
If employers or health authorities assume that the supply is at risk, it should be possible for an unvaccinated employee to be allowed to continue working for a transitional period, explained Grimm-Benne, who is Health Minister in Saxony-Anhalt. Then conditions such as daily testing or working in full protection should apply, and it is also possible to switch to another job.
