Germany passes jab requirement for health workers

BERLIN, Germany —

“The pandemic is a mission for us all — this isn’t a moment for party politics,” he told the chamber before the vote. Scholz, who took power on Wednesday, has come out strongly in favour of mandatory vaccinations after the voluntary campaign fell short with just under 70 percent of the population fully inoculated. Around 21 percent have received a booster shot.

“Mandatory vaccination is a really difficult issue,” Markus Heim, a senior doctor in the intensive care unit at Munich’s Rechts der Isar hospital, told AFP. The country recorded 61,288 new infections in the past 24 hours on Friday and 484 deaths, according to the Robert Koch Institute health agency. Nearly 105,000 people have died with coronavirus.
