The Infection Protection Act (IfSG) requires physicians and laboratories to report infections. A distinction is made between named reports of pathogens and non-named reports of evidence of pathogens as well as reports of vaccination damage.

Named pathogens:

Physicians and laboratories for medical diagnostics are obliged to report abnormal findings to the local health authorities responsible for the physicians' practices if the pathogens named in the law are diagnosed during an examination or sample. The reporting forms required for this purpose are provided by the respective state authorities.

Non-named pathogen detections:

The pathogen detections named in Section 7 (3) IfSG are to be reported directly to the Robert Koch Institute by non-name. The RKI provides special laboratory reporting forms for this purpose.

Vaccine damage:

The suspicion of health damage exceeding the usual level of a vaccination reaction must be reported. The notification is made by the physician to the locally responsible public health department.

The aim of infection control is to prevent transmissible diseases in humans, to detect infections at an early stage and to prevent their further spread.

This is the task of the respective responsible office in cooperation with other institutions.

They record notifiable communicable diseases, evaluate this information, and take the measures necessary to prevent and control infectious diseases.

No documentation is required.

There are no fees to pay.

No deadlines need to be observed.

There are no deadlines for reporting, but they should be done promptly to prevent further spread of the disease or to contain it as quickly as possible.

The Robert Koch Institute provides information about current information on its website.
