Flu and corona vaccinations without an appointment: Mobile offer in the Olpe district!

An exciting vaccination offer is coming! On November 5, 2025, the DRK district association and the Olpe District Medical Association are organizing a mobile vaccination campaign that will offer many citizens the opportunity to be easily vaccinated against flu and corona. This campaign is particularly aimed at those who do not have a family doctor or who have difficulty making an appointment. Again Sauerland courier reported, the vaccinations will be carried out in DRK clothing stores at six different locations in the Olpe district without prior registration.

The vaccination campaign begins on Monday, November 5th and will be carried out in the following municipalities:

• 9 Uhr: Wenden, Hauptstr. 77
• 10 Uhr: Olpe, Martinstr. 43
• 11 Uhr: Drolshagen, Im Kreuzseifen
• 12 Uhr: Attendorn, Ennester Str. 12-14
• 13 Uhr: Finnentrop, Serkenroder Str. 59
• 14 Uhr: Lennestadt, In den Höfen 3

The vaccinators are on site for around half an hour each time, and those interested should arrive on the hour. It is important to bring your insurance card and an ID card, while the vaccination certificate is optional.

Vaccination needs and target groups

The vaccinations are open to all citizens, regardless of where they come from or where they live. The vaccinations are particularly recommended for older people and people with chronic illnesses, as they are particularly at risk. The aim of the campaign is to increase willingness to vaccinate in the Olpe district and to reduce hurdles, as the flu vaccination rate in the region is below average. The initiators hope to continue the good acceptance of recent years, as has been the case Sauerland courier is mentioned.

But that's not all, because pharmacies also play a crucial role in the vaccination campaign. In the last three years, pharmacists in Germany have also been allowed to offer flu vaccinations, according to the consumer portal aponet determines. Consumers can search for pharmacies that offer both flu and corona vaccinations on www.apoguide.de. This variety of offers makes access to vaccination much easier.

The best time to get the flu shot

Autumn is the ideal time for flu vaccination, and the period from October to mid-December is particularly recommended, as the flu epidemic typically peaks in late December to early January. After vaccination, protection usually occurs within 10 to 14 days. The STIKO recommends vaccination for certain risk groups, including:

• Menschen ab 60 Jahren
• Personen mit chronischen Grundleiden
• Schwangere
• Kinder mit chronischen Atemwegserkrankungen
• Mitarbeiter in Berufen mit erhöhtem Kontaktrisiko

People with statutory health insurance in the groups mentioned can get the vaccination free of charge in doctors' offices and pharmacies, while people with private insurance aged 18 and over can also get the vaccination in pharmacies.

Take the chance and take part in the vaccination campaign to protect yourself and others! It is a simple but crucial step for your health and that of the community.
