Current recommendation of the German STIKO for the covid 19 vaccination:

• For all above 18 years and pregnant women without chronical disease there should be a basic immunity consisting of three contacts with the covid 19 antigen: either by direct infection with the virus or by vaccination. One contact should be at least by a covid 19 jab.
• The incomplete basic immunity can be fulfilled by covid 19 vaccination.
• Unvaccinated and uninfected persons should receive three jabs: on day one – 4 to 12 Weeks thereafter – and 6 months after the 2. jab.

• Pregnant women may be vaccinated from the 2nd trimester onward.

• Breastfeeding women can be vaccinated like the common population and those with additional risks.

• No need for healthy children and adolescents under 18 years to have covid 19 jab.

• Children and adolescents from the age of 6 months:
  • with chronical disease
  • living in home care or
  • adolescents with increased occupational risk working in medical institution or home care

should have the basic immunity (three antigen contacts) and the annual refresher jab in autumn.

• All above 60 years should have the annual refresher jab in autumn.
• Equally the annual refresher jab in autumn for all with chronical disease, home care residents, medical and home care professionals.

Covid 19 jab may be applied together with vaccination against flu and pneumonia.
