Gera – A mobile vaccination team was attacked during a corona vaccination campaign in Gera, Thuringia. Two members of the team were injured, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health.
The police confirmed the incident, which took place in a shopping mall that afternoon. According to the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV), the man had requested a vaccination certificate, but did not want to be vaccinated. When the staff told him that there would be no certificate without a vaccination, the man “went crazy”. He had injured a medical worker and a helper.
Employees treated in hospital
You were treated in a hospital, but according to KV information, you have already been discharged. The attacker had himself registered during the vaccination campaign so that his data was known. According to a spokesman, the police stopped him in a parking garage and there was a complaint against him. He is at large. According to the police, he was also said to have been slightly injured in the mall.
According to the KV pandemic staff leader, it is the first time since the start of the vaccination campaign that a vaccination team in Thuringia has been attacked. The vaccination campaign was then canceled and 120 people had been vaccinated by the time the incident occurred. The action should be repeated.
Thuringia’s Minister of Health Heike Werner (left) condemned the act as well as Gera’s Mayor Julian Vonarb (independent). “The agitation of the vaccine opponents turns into action,” said Werner. “We cannot accept that as a society. Our vaccination teams are on the move so that people can protect themselves from infection with the insidious virus. ”Dpa
