[High immunization rates--how can they be achieved at all?].
High rates of immunization are achieved not only by compulsory vaccination. Strict discipline is necessary as well as motivation of medical assistants and of patients in their social environment. All people have a natural instinct for protecting themselves against risks of life. This instinct can in fact be stimulated by repeated motivation and can be enforced by propaganda. The process of propaganda alone cannot stimulate urges. Strategy of immunization must be standardised in all districts of the Federal Republic. This means: immunisation schedule, information of patients, children and of their parents. This is part of discipline of vaccination, same as is the permanent training of medical staff. They should be sent to seminars and training workshops. Specialist opinions must be differentiated as to whether they are scientists or articulate their own and personal opinion or whether their attitude is conditioned by general medical considerations. Any legal claims arising from vaccination accidents would be decided 'in dubio pro aegroto'.
