Update from October 30th, 11.00 a.m.: The call by the Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) * for Corona booster vaccinations for everyone was sharply criticized from various sides. The President of the German Medical Association, Klaus Reinhardt *, told the newspapers of the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) that there was not yet sufficient scientific evidence for the need for booster vaccinations for people of all ages.
In older people, however, the booster vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of infection, as the immune response usually becomes weaker in old age and vaccination breakthroughs can therefore occur. “That is why the Standing Vaccination Commission recommends a Covid-19 booster vaccination for all people over the age of 70,” emphasized Reinhardt. He accused the government of a lack of education and information policy.
Sharp criticism of Spahn’s (CDU) call for a booster vaccination for everyone
In his opinion, it would now be the task of the Federal Center for Health Education to inform about the booster vaccinations for older people and, above all, to clear up false information on the Internet. On the latter point in particular, he found clear words: “This fake news is largely responsible for the fact that we have a pandemic of the unvaccinated today.”
There was also sharp criticism of the Federal Minister of Health’s appeal from family doctors. “We are annoyed that Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn is stoking expectations that booster vaccinations are possible for everyone,” said the federal board member of the General Practitioner Association, Armin Beck, of the RND . The family doctors would follow the recommendation of the Standing Vaccination Commission, which currently only recommends third-party vaccinations for people over 70 and a few other groups.

At the moment, the general practitioners’ practices could still cope with the amount of booster vaccinations, said Beck. The statement by Jens Spahn has now increased the need for clarification and discussion in the practices. In the event of an expansion of the recommendation by the Stiko, general practitioners would also vaccinate these groups of people, he announced.
First report from October 30, 8:00 a.m .: Munich – The seven-day incidence * in Germany has again increased significantly. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value on Saturday morning as 145.1. For comparison: the previous day the value was 139.2, a week ago it was 100.0.
Corona in Germany: Incidence continues to rise – 21,545 new infections reported
The health authorities in Germany reported 21,543 new corona * infections to the RKI within 24 hours. This is evident from the figures that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 04.15 a.m. A week ago the value was 15,145 infections.
Within one day, 90 deaths were recorded across Germany. A week ago there were 86 deaths. The RKI has counted 4,580,663 detected infections with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic. The actual total number is likely to be significantly higher, as many infections are not detected.
Clinic parameters on Friday at 3.50 – value will not be published on the weekend
The number of corona patients admitted to clinics per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days – the most important parameter for a possible tightening of the corona restrictions – was given by the RKI on Friday as 3.50 (Thursday: 3.31, Wednesday: 3, 07). The value is not published on Saturday and Sunday.
However, it must be taken into account that hospital admissions are sometimes reported with delay. A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences. The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time.
Corona numbers are increasing: counties in Bavaria are reacting
The areas in southern Bavaria that are currently particularly affected by the increase in the number of infections have now teamed up and significantly tightened their measures in the fight against the pandemic The measures taken are unfortunately unavoidable in view of the high exposure of the RoMed clinics to Covid patients. ” (kam / dpa) * Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
