PCR Test ab 01.04.2022
Dear patients,
the corona restrictions are increasingly being lifted nationwide.
In Thuringia, a positive rapid test from a test center is sufficient to prove a corona infection. According to the Ministry of Health on March 29, 2022, a PCR test is not necessary to have the result confirmed - this is regulated in the state ordinance. Such a certified test should also be sufficient as proof for the employer. If the employer nevertheless insists on a corresponding certificate from the health department, this can be requested.
You are currently only entitled to a free PCR test if you are ordered by your doctor or health department.
From now on, PCR tests will only be used in our practice
- for admission to rehabilitation, dialysis and care facilities, for inpatient admissions in clinics and for outpatient surgeries (note: credible assurance must be given that the facility requires the PCR test!),
- as a self-payer at the patient's request, for those returning from high-risk, high-incidence and virus variant areas, at the employer's request
carried out.
We were only informed at short notice about these changes, which apply retroactively to April 1, 2022, and ask for your understanding for the short-term implementation.

Our online form for the Covid vaccination waiting listwas updated. If you are interested in a vaccination against Covid, you are welcome to contact us in this way. From now on it is also possible for you to inform us of the desired vaccine.
Please note that Novavax's Nuvaxovid is not expected to be available until the end of March.

Corona vaccination
The second vaccination with mRNA vaccine from BioNTech is carried out according to the current STIKO recommendation at an interval of 3-6 weeks after the first vaccination.
Individual vaccinations are currently not possible due to the specified amount of vaccine in the vials. An appointment will therefore only be given if at least 6 vaccinations are carried out on one day.
One "booster vaccination“ with mRNA vaccine from BioNTech is also for:
- 1 Johnson & Johnson vaccinated at least 4 weeks apart
- 2 times Vaxzevria (=Astra Zeneca) vaccinated after at least 6 months
possible.

Corona vaccination for people under the age of 18
dear patients,
Younger people have a particularly low risk of becoming seriously ill with Covid-19 or even dying. Nevertheless, they can also develop severe courses.
Since there is currently still too little data with regard to safety, tolerability and effectiveness, we have decided
not to vaccinate people under the age of 18 against the coronavirus.
If you are interested in a corona vaccination for your child, please contact a vaccination center and make an appointment there.
05.04.2021
dear patients,
from the April 7, 2021 starts the COVID-19 vaccination in our doctor's office.
According to the Coronavirus Vaccination Ordinance, anyone living or working in Germany can be vaccinated free of charge, regardless of their health insurance.
Initially, we are likely to have a very limited amount of vaccine available.
For the vaccination sequence in doctor's offices is the prioritization according to the Coronavirus Vaccination Ordinance.
Patients in our practice are welcome to register for the vaccination in advance using our waiting list form. We especially recommend patients under 60 years of age contemporaneous for an appointment in vaccination center to strive.

dear patients,

According to media reports, the health department sent a circular email to all pharmacies in the district in which they were asked as possible test partners. At the same time, the contract was awarded to the district association of the German Red Cross (DRK). Municipalities are also encouraged to examine appropriate options.
