Vaccination is recommended for everyone aged six and over.

The vaccination schedule usually consists of two doses with a minimum interval of three to four weeks.

Two weeks after the full vaccination schedule, sufficient antibodies are formed, but the rate of protection against infection and against severe disease varies according to the type of vaccine. It is not yet clear how long the protection lasts.

A revaccination after a few months is recommeded, however It is not yet clear whether more revaccinations will be necessary.
Side effects
After a vaccination mild symptoms often appear, such as a flu-like feeling, fever and pain, redness or swelling at the injection site. Serious side effects are extremely rare. The risk of side effects is many times lower than the risk of the disease itself.
