FAQ
Covid 19 vaccination and Covid-19 booster vaccination information
Information on the Covid 19 vaccination can be found on the RKI homepage, among others: https://www.rki.de/SharedDocs/FAQ/COVID-Impfen/gesamt.html.
The University strongly recommends that all students and employees get vaccinated. Vaccinations have been proven to protect against a serious course of illness. In this way, you protect yourself and make your contribution to preventing the health system from being overburdened.
Employees can also attend vaccination appointments during working hours after consultation with their supervisor (this then counts as working time). Within the framework of DV flexitime, a credit is given if the appointment falls during service time. Work must be resumed immediately before and after the vaccination appointment (provided that the after-effects of the vaccination do not impair the ability to work).
Where can I get information on the effectiveness, side effects etc. of the Covid-19 vaccination?
