The available vaccines greatly reduce the probability of infection and protect against severe courses. The risk of transmitting the coronavirus to others is also reduced. This also protects people who cannot be vaccinated (yet). Sufficient community protection can only be achieved if enough people take up the vaccination. The vaccines do not contain animal products. You may receive the vaccine regardless of your religion.
Corona vaccinations are possible:
Recovered persons are given only one vaccination (after consultation with the attending physician between 3 and 6 months after infection). The infection is considered a "first vaccination". Proof of infection in the context of vaccination is the original certificate for a positive PCR test or an antibody test by laboratory result or medical certificate.
Booster vaccinations are recommended for fully vaccinated individuals 18 years of age and older (six months apart after completion of basic immunization).

Vaccination centres and points in Dresden
From 1 December 2021, there will again be a vaccination centre (Impfzentrum) at Messe Dresden. At the beginning, vaccinations will still be given without an appointment. For citizens who are no longer mobile, taxis will be arranged. The offer of decentralised vaccinations by the mobile teams was discontinued in favour of the vaccination centre (with the exception of the Auditorium Centre TU Dresden).
All persons over the age of 12 can be vaccinated free of charge. Please bring the chip card or an ID/passport as well as the yellow vaccination book (if available). It is not necessary or possible to make an appointment.
For children and adolescents under 16 years of age, the presence of a custodial person and the declaration of consent of the other custodial person is required. Adolescents who are 16 or 17 years old only need the consent form, the custodial person does not need to be present. The forms can be found here: Declaration of legal guardians present at vaccination of under 16-year-olds | Information sheet | Medical history and consent form
There is a choice of three vaccines. With Johnson & Johnson (J&J), one dose is sufficient, although this vaccine may only be given to people aged 60 and over. With the vaccines from BioNTech and Moderna (age 30+), a second vaccination is necessary after three and four weeks respectively. This can take place at the respective location or elsewhere (see list above).
Appointments are not possible.
Please be there at least one hour before closing time.
Longer waiting times are to be expected due to high demand.
Vaccinations take place while stocks last.

Digital proof of vaccination
It is possible to transfer the vaccination status to an app. After vaccination, a certificate with a QR code is handed out, which is then transferred to the app. Anyone who has already been vaccinated and would like a digital certificate must have the QR code issued afterwards by the vaccinator or at a participating pharmacy. The code can then be read into the CovPass app or the Corona warning app. Of course, the vaccination certificate or the replacement certificate remain valid proof documents.
Verification of the digital vaccination record
The vaccination certificate is used digitally via the CovPass-App or the Corona-Warn-App, or alternatively through the printout of the QR code obtained during vaccination. For service providers who want to check the vaccination status, there is a check app ("CovPassCheck-App"). This allows the vaccination status to be scanned in a similar way to a barcode on an airline or train ticket. When the QR code is checked, only the status of the certificate, first name(s), last name and date of birth are displayed in the CovPassCheck app. Alternatively, proof with the analogue vaccination certificate remains possible.
Missing, incomplete or lost vaccination certificates
If Corona vaccination certificates have been lost or documents (vaccination card, replacement certificate) have incomplete entries, a request can be sent to KV Sachsen by e-mail to the address ersatzbescheinigung.covid19-impfung@kvsachsen.de. After verification, vaccination record certificates will be sent by post. This only applies to vaccinations that took place in Saxony at a vaccination centre or with a mobile team. Incorrect digital vaccination certificates (QR codes) cannot be corrected by the KVS.
Counselling centres inform and advise seniors on Corona vaccination
Anyone who needs help and support can turn to the funded senior citizens' encounter and counselling facilities in the state capital Dresden. Anyone who needs assistance should make an appointment in advance by telephone. The opening and availability times of the senior citizens' facilities are available at here or can be obtained from the senior citizens' telephone at 0351-4884800.
