Mini vaccination centres in the county vaccinate latest Omikron vaccine

From now on, the latest Corona vaccine, which is also supposed to protect against the Omikron variant BA.4-5, will be vaccinated in the mini vaccination centres of the district. On 8 October, vaccinations will be offered in Korbach and Bad Wildungen, and on 29 October in Frankenberg.

At the new location of the Korbach Mini Vaccination Centre at Briloner Landstraße 35, there is the opportunity to be vaccinated this coming Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm; in Bad Wildungen at the train station from 9 am to 1 pm. There, everyone aged twelve years and older can get boostered with the Corona vaccine tailored to the Omikron variant BA.4-5. A second booster vaccination can be given to people aged 60 and over or those at increased risk of severe COVID-19 due to an underlying disease. The last vaccination should be at least three months ago.

"The latest adapted vaccine is the one that is particularly effective against the currently prevalent variant of the BA4/BA5 coronavirus," says Thomas Hetche, head of the district's health department. "Vaccination with it would therefore be favoured." The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg continues to call on people to take advantage of the public vaccination offers in order to protect themselves and others against the coronavirus in the best possible way. In this context, attention is also drawn once again to the institution-related vaccination obligation, which has been in force for certain institutions since mid-March this year - and which makes vaccination obligatory for certain occupational groups.

The following should be brought to the vaccination: The health insurance card and, if possible, the vaccination certificate, identity card and, if possible, the completed information sheets and medical history and information sheets for the respective vaccines.
