Vaccinations against COVID
People aged 60 and over and anyone with high-risk diseases (e.g. diabetes) have an increased risk of severe cases, which is why annual vaccination is recommended from July: The COVID wave starts months before the flu wave, so you need to rethink your vaccination schedule a little here (see diagram: COVID wave in orange, flu wave in red).
(Additional info in our MediBlog)
COVID still causes the most hospital admissions: In one year, 120,000 patients were admitted to hospital with or because of COVID, compared to 40,000 with or because of influenza (flu). COVID must therefore be taken seriously, even if we would prefer to forget the issue due to the experiences of the pandemic.

We will always use the latest vaccine from Biontech for the COVID vaccination.
In a total of over 4000 COVID vaccinations in our practice, there have been no serious side effects. On the other hand, many dozens of my patients have suffered permanent damage to their health as a result of COVID infection, and at least a dozen have died as a result.
If you have any doubts or questions, please contact us.
Further info is available on our MediBlog page. Furthermore you can find reliable information on the CDC homepage.
Vaccination against MPX ("monkeypox"):
Epidemiologists of the WHO expect further infection waves. Therefore, a vaccination for vulnerable groups is still recommended. Vaccinations will be performed by the Gesundheitsamt (department of health) in Wiesbaden. Only patients of our practice are eligible to ask us for arranging the vaccination.
Individuals who have already had a vaccination against smallpox (not chicken pox) currently still do not need a vaccination against monkeypox.
