Current topics

COVID and flu vaccination

What should you know about the COVID and flu vaccine?
 
- The vaccination is worthwhile for everyone over the age of 60, everyone with risk diseases (e.g. diabetes) of any age, as well as medical personnel.
- We will use only the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine for COVID vaccination.
- We will always use the most current COVID vaccine. Currently, this is the vaccine adjusted to Omicron XBB.1.5. - We recommend that COVID and influenza vaccine be administered at the same time (see CDC and ECDC). The safety of this approach has been confirmed in studies (see here and here).
 
Those who are particularly interested can get more information here:
 
- Pandemic Radar: Here
you can see the current numbers. Since little testing is still being done, it is best to go by the hospitalization rate (number of patients admitted to the hospital for COVID) rather than the incidence.
- Circulating Variants: Here
you will find the COVID viral variants that are currently present.

Statistics
- From April 7th, 2021 until February 20th, 2024 we have administered 3600 COVID-19 vaccinations. We haven't observed any unusual side effects. Thus, the vaccine proves to be safe.

Further info is available on our "Corona" page. Furthermore you can find reliable information on the CDC homepage.


Vaccination against monkeypox:

Epidemiologists of the WHO expect further infection waves. Therefore, a vaccination for vulnerable groups is still recommended. Vaccinations will be performed by the Gesundheitsamt (department of health) in Wiesbaden. Only patients of our practice are eligible to ask us for arranging the vaccination.

Individuals who have already had a vaccination against smallpox (not chicken pox) currently still do not need a vaccination against monkeypox.
