Electronic prescription from 01.01.2024
From 01.01.2024, you will receive your electronic prescription as follows:
- You order your prescription from us (preferably by signal or email) and have your insurance card scanned, if you have not already done so.
- We will process your order within one working day.
- You can collect your medication from the pharmacy the next working day by either having your insurance card scanned there or by installing the corresponding app and showing the QR code in the pharmacy.
- We will process your order within one working day.

If necessary, ask your regular pharmacy whether it is already technically equipped. Please note that the doctor can no longer sign "just like that". To our regret, the electronic signature also requires a little more time.
The private prescription will continue to be printed out on paper.
Current topics
Vaccinations against respiratory infections: Flu, COVID, RSV
In a total of almost 4000 COVID vaccinations in our practice, there were no side effects of concern. On the other hand, several dozen of my patients have suffered permanent health damage or died as a result of a COVID infection, most recently in December 2023. We will only use the latest vaccine (currently KP.1) from Biontech for the COVID vaccination. We recommend having COVID and flu vaccinations administered at the same time (see CDC and ECDC). The safety of this approach has been confirmed in studies (see here and here).
3. RSV ("respiratory syncytial virus")
(Additional info in our MediBlog)
1. Flu (influenza)
People aged 60 and over and anyone with high-risk diseases (e.g. diabetes) have an increased risk of severe cases, so an annual vaccination in the fall is recommended.
2. COVID ("Corona")
People aged 60 and over and anyone with high-risk diseases (e.g. diabetes) have an increased risk of severe courses, so annual vaccination in the fall is recommended here (see infection radar).

3. RSV ("respiratory syncytial virus")
People aged 75 and over and anyone with severe risk diseases (e.g. severe diabetes) aged 60 and over have an increased risk of severe courses, so a single vaccination is recommended here. The vaccination can currently only be prescribed on a private prescription (approx. 200 €). Therefore, if you wish to be vaccinated, please clarify the cost coverage with your insurance company in advance. As soon as the vaccination is "automatically" covered by your insurance, we will let you know here on our homepage.
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.
