The pastors are looking to up vaccination rates in Germany's Saxony state, which has the lowest vaccination rate out of the nation's 16 federal states.
Several Lutheran pastors across Germany's Saxony state are attempting to combat lingering COVID-19 vaccine skepticism by opening clinics inside their churches and encouraging churchgoers to get the shot.
Reverend Christoph Herbst, from St. Petri Church in the city of Chemnitz in Saxony, is among the pastors who have been trying to combat the below-average vaccination rates by promoting the shots during sermons. He also opened up the church to hold a vaccine clinic, a move aimed at further encouraging some skeptics to get the shot in a familiar environment without having to register in advance.
Lutheran pastors in Germany's Saxony state are attempting to combat lingering COVID-19 vaccine skepticism and anxiety by opening clinics inside their churches and encouraging churchgoers to get the shot.

Chemnitz, a city of about 247,000 residents, was known as Karl-Marx-Stadt when it and the rest of Saxony were part of the formerly communist East Germany. Many of the local vaccine refusers cite concerns of possible side effects but are also feeling overwhelmed by what they see as too much pressure from authorities or general opposition to any measures endorsed by the government, according to Herbst.
