Who has a basic right to vaccination against Corona in Germany?
All persons with residence or habitual abode in Germany or who are employed in certain care facilities in Germany but do not reside in Germany have a basic entitlement to vaccination.
Are children and adolescents vaccinated against COVID-19?
The STIKO no longer recommends basic immunization or booster vaccinations for children and adolescents who have no underlying diseases, as the majority of cases in this age group are now mild. If there is an individual risk, e.g. pre-existing conditions, basic immunization should be carried out with annual boosters.
