Vaccinations are one of the most important measures to prevent diseases. Some diseases no longer occur, or only very rarely, because most people have been vaccinated.
Before vaccines are approved, their effectiveness and safety must be proven in studies. The independent Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) then examines who is recommended to be vaccinated in Germany and when it makes the most sense to administer it. The individual advice from your doctor or the specialist medical service (public health department) of the districts and cities is based on these recommendations.
The public health department is responsible for questions about vaccinations, for example regarding development and approval.
If you would like to find out more about vaccinations, please contact the health authority responsible for your district/city of residence.
