We will be starting flu vaccinations for children and parents again from the beginning of October.
Appointments can now be booked by phone or online – afternoon appointments are also available.
Vaccination is possible for children from 6 months of age and is recommended for people with an increased health risk due to an underlying condition (e.g. chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, heart or circulatory diseases, liver or kidney diseases, diabetes or other metabolic diseases, chronic underlying neurological diseases, congenital or acquired immunodeficiency).
The vaccination recommendation also applies to people who could be a potential source of infection for people living in the same household or people at risk (see above).
Since influenza in healthy children or adults under 60 years of age usually progresses without serious complications, it is not explicitly recommended by the STIKO for all healthy children. However, the fact that the STIKO only recommends influenza vaccination for certain groups of people does not mean that the STIKO advises against influenza vaccination for other people.
We will be happy to advise you individually on the flu vaccination and any other questions you may have.
Make an appointment early to be optimally protected against the coming flu season!
