Vaccination (1st time)

When you receive the vaccine, be sure to bring the "Vaccination Coupon" mailed to you by the municipality and your identification documents (My Number Card, driver's license, health insurance card, etc.) and present them at the reception desk. Please do not tear off the vaccination ticket (coupon), but bring it to the venue with you. The vaccine is injected into the muscle of the shoulder, so please wear clothes that show your shoulders, such as a T-shirt. All vaccination costs are covered by public funds (free of charge).
Inoculation (2nd time)
5 Make an appointment for the second vaccination.
Please make an appointment and receive the vaccination in the same way as the first dose. With Pfizer's vaccines, the second dose is usually given 3 weeks after the first dose. If this interval has been exceeded, get the vaccination as soon as possible. For Takeda/Modena vaccines, the second dose is usually given 4 weeks after the first dose. If this interval has been exceeded, get vaccinated as soon as possible. There is no set maximum interval between doses, but the WHO, the US, and some EU countries recommend that the second dose should be given no later than 6 weeks after the first dose, even if the interval is longer than 3 weeks (Pfizer vaccine) or 4 weeks (Takeda/Merdona vaccine).
