Joshua Kimmich wants to get vaccinated.

National player Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich now wants to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The 26-year-old confirmed this in an interview with “Sportstudio Reportage” in ZDF (5.10 p.m.).

In the conversation, Kimmich, who has only just recovered from Corona, regrets that he did not decide to take this step earlier. “In general, it was just difficult for me to deal with my fears and concerns, which is why I was undecided for so long,” he said. Kimmich comments on his health situation for the first time.

The Standing Vaccination Commission recommends that those who have recovered be given a dose of vaccine. However, the vaccination should not take place until six months after the disease, provided the infection has been confirmed by a PCR test.

Vaccinations should be given at the earliest four weeks after the symptoms have ceased. If the infection has been confirmed by a blood sample, the vaccination should follow as early as four weeks after the diagnosis.

Kimmich had lung problems after his infection. However, the situation is “not so dramatic that one can expect consequential damage,” said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Because of the consequences, the midfielder will not be able to return until January. In total, he will have missed at least eight Munich games due to quarantine and illness.

FC Bayern: Jamal Musiala also vaccinated

Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann also announced on Saturday that national player Jamal Musiala has now been vaccinated against Corona after a long period of hesitation.

“I am happy that he is vaccinated and that we will hopefully not have any more problems with it in the second half of the season,” said the coach after the 2-1 win against FSV Mainz 05 and emphasized: “I wish that for society as a whole. “
