- § Section 20 (3) Vaccinations and other measures of specific prophylaxis - Infection Protection Act (IfSG)
Vaccinations are one of the most important measures to prevent diseases. For example, some diseases no longer occur or occur only very rarely because people have largely had themselves vaccinated.
Before vaccines are approved, their efficacy and safety must be proven in studies. Afterwards, the independent Standing Commission on Vaccination (STIKO) reviews to whom the vaccination should be recommended in Germany and when it should most sensibly be administered. The individual consultation with your doctor or the medical service (public health department) of the districts and independent cities is based on these recommendations.
The health department is responsible for questions regarding protective vaccinations, such as development and licensing.
If you would like further information about vaccinations, please contact the health office of the district/city responsible for your place of residence.
