At the same time, Lucha pointed out that in the course of the new Corona regulation The yellow vaccination card is no longer sufficient.

Both vaccines offer very good protection

"The mrNA vaccines from Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna are both safe, effective and very suitable for first and second vaccinations as well as for refresher vaccinations," said Minister Lucha. "Because we are currently receiving the corresponding messages, we have to clarify again: There is no supposedly better or worse vaccine on this topic."

The The constant vaccination commission (stiko) Since November 18, 2021, a refreshing vaccination against Covid-19 has recommended for all people aged 18 and over . In principle, this vaccination should take place six months after the basic vaccination and with one of the approved mRNA vaccines.
