Corona in Cologne: who will get the booster vaccination?
Booster vaccination in North Rhine-Westphalia only after four months
Only two days after reducing the minimum interval to four weeks, the NRW state government has again severely restricted the possibility of booster vaccinations. In a new decree of December 15, the Ministry of Health “corrects” the lower limit for the booster vaccination to four months after the basic vaccination. But should the rule be five months.
In Cologne you can basically all eligible for vaccination The city explains that they can have their vaccination protection refreshed free of charge. So that you can get a booster, you should have your last vaccination usually about five months lag behind.
On December 15, the NRW Ministry of Health announced that theoretically already four months After the second vaccination, a booster vaccination is possible. The previous minimum interval of four weeks is still possible in “individual decisions based on a medical indication”. All municipal vaccination centers adopted these requirements, and the city of Cologne shortly afterwards.
This does not include anyone who only received a single vaccination with Johnson & Johnson. In the fall, the booster vaccination can generally be given four weeks later. These groups of people are entitled to a third vaccination:
- Anyone over the age of 18 who received a first series of vaccinations (first and second vaccination) or with an mRNA vaccine (Biontech or Moderna) or with a vector vaccine (Astrazeneca, Johnson & Johnson).
- Anyone over 18 who has recovered from a corona infection. This fall, the booster is used as a second vaccination.
- Note: In order to be able to receive a booster vaccination, the vaccination series in Cologne must currently be completed at least four months ago.
- Special case: If you are first vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or in special medical cases, a booster vaccination can be given as early as four weeks after the last vaccination.
