Some federal states in Germany have already abolished the priority of vaccination, and within 3 weeks, that is, starting from June 7, the whole of Germany will abolish the priority of vaccination, that is, all people in Germany who want to be vaccinated can go. Appointments are made, regardless of age, health or work status, that was the latest decision from Germany's health minister on Monday. So how to make an appointment, what preparations should be made before vaccination, and what are the latest news that should be known in advance?

  please wait patiently

Abolishing vaccination priorities in the first place doesn’t mean getting vaccinated right away. Because the supply of vaccines is limited. At present, especially those who want to be vaccinated with Biontech vaccine, need patience, and basically cannot get the first vaccination time before the summer vacation. Because even if the manufacturer hopes to increase its weekly shipments from about 3 million doses to about 5 million doses, it will have to prioritize supplying those who have already received a dose of the Biontech vaccine and are awaiting a second dose. A total of 3.36 million had to receive a second shot in the week after priority was terminated on June 7. That is, only one-third of the 5 million doses of vaccine shipped from Biontech each week are available for the first dose.

    However, every permanent German population is expected to receive the first dose of the vaccine by early September at the latest.

How to book an appointment with a family doctor

Making an appointment with a family doctor is the same process as usual. You can make an appointment on the spot, or by phone and email. However, the clinic generally cannot give you the vaccination time directly. Usually, after the vaccine is available, the clinic staff will notify the vaccination according to the waiting list. It is also ok if you make an appointment with more than one doctor, for example if you have been treated by an internist, gynecologist, ENT, plastic surgeon or trauma surgeon in the past, you can put yourself on the waiting list there . In Germany, all doctors with health insurance approval can get the Covid-19 vaccine. But it is recommended to notify other places to remove yourself from the list after getting the vaccination time.

How to make an appointment at the vaccination center

You can also book an appointment online, such as at sofort-impfen.de, and enter your postcode and email address to go directly to the waiting list. Whenever a nearby doctor has a vaccine available, you will be automatically notified via email, as will the vaccine manufacturer. Then confirm it.

Online booking is the most convenient, and each federal state has different booking websites.

Baden-Württemberg: https://impfzentren.bayern

Berlin: www.impfterminservice.de

Bremen: The vaccination center will send a letter directly, so there is no online appointment address.

Hamburg: www.impfterminservice.de

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: www.impfportal-niedersachsen.de

NRW: www.impftermin.rlp.de

Saarland: www.sachsen.impfterminvergabe.de

Saxony-Anhalt: www.impfen-sh.de

Thuringia: http://www.impfen-thueringen.de

The online appointment can be refreshed frequently, because the vaccination center also releases a new appointment time at any time after receiving the vaccine.

In addition, doctors of many German companies can also be vaccinated, depending on the company's regulations.

Preparation before vaccination

Please do not drink any alcoholic beverages within 24 hours before vaccination. In order for the immune system to function, everything that can enter the bloodstream should be avoided as much as possible. If possible, drink plenty of water. Eat simple, healthy foods that are low in sugar and low in fat. Also don't exercise a lot. By the way, what is important is regular sleep, regular work, which is good for the immune system.
