In the Federal as in the countries, voices are growing for a vaccination against measles. The SPD leader Andrea Nahles said the süddeutsche Zeitung: “I think it is right, in the case of very contagious diseases, such as measles, a vaccination.” It is not only the health of the children, but also older people. “The individual freedom has its limits where it endangers the health of many others,” she said. “And this is clearly not the case: The world health organization WHO has declared the refusal to allow a shot for the measles recently after all, one of the global threats to Health.”
Previously, had pleaded to the Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) family Minister Franziska Giffey (SPD) for a mandatory vaccination. “Government Action is needed to compromise if the risk of other children in kindergartens, schools or other institutions to get a different grip,” said the editorial network Germany. In may, a law is expected to be a draft of the Ministry of health. Measles are highly contagious, in rare cases, the disease can be fatal. Lawyers, however, are skeptical as to whether compulsory vaccination is enforced.
Söder: “We will continue to appeal”

The state government is requested to provide the framework for that to to a Federal regulatory solution to a vaccination as a mandatory prerequisite for attending day-care centres and day care.
On the weekend, the state government of North Rhine-determination of Westphalia is also a compulsory vaccination. Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU), spoke out in favour of it. Family Minister Joachim Stamp (FDP) told the Rheinische Post: “I am in favour of a General vaccination – this also applies to kindergartens.” Similar to the education Minister Helmut Holter (Left) spoke for the Thuringia state government. Some countries, such as Berlin, want to wait for a Federal regulation, without a vaccination.
The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) took a cautious approach to vaccination, but. Vaccination is important, “we will continue to appeal,” said Söder of the SZ. “But I don’t know if a compulsion of all wisdom is the last end.” In Bavaria there is just no reason for a vaccination as in other States, the vaccination rate was in the free state is relatively high. If there is a significant impact, for example, if due to measles all schools need to be closed, then you should think again about it. He was very much in favour of the Vaccination. “I can only advise everyone,” said Söder. It was understandable, when someone is negative.
