Education resumes on August 25th
In a recent announcement, Mayor Burkhard Hintzsche confirmed that a vaccination program will be implemented for interested students aged 12 and above in Düsseldorf schools. Here's what we currently know about the initiative:
The vaccine from the company Biontech will be used for the vaccination of students in Düsseldorf. At least one central school location has been selected in each district, except for District 5, due to its proximity to the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Vaccination for interested students will take place between August 25 and September 2, from 11 am to 6 pm, on weekdays.
However, specific details about the vaccines to be used in the vaccination at secondary schools, the exact schedule, or the required documents have not been provided yet. It's important to note that in general, children in Germany receive free vaccinations against 13–14 infectious diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, and hepatitis B. These vaccinations are recommended but not mandatory.
For those without verified immunity, the MMR vaccine is recommended twice for school-age children in Germany, starting from 6 months old in case of outbreaks or exposure. Commonly, vaccination campaigns in schools require parental consent and presentation of vaccination records.
For precise scheduling, required documents, and vaccine type details for students in Düsseldorf schools, contacting local public health offices or school administrations directly is advised.
Additionally, other vaccines will be brought along for use in case adults, teachers, or school staff wish to be vaccinated with a different one. However, no specific details about the vaccination of adults, teachers, or school staff have been provided yet.
We will continue to monitor updates regarding the vaccination program in Düsseldorf schools and provide further information as it becomes available.
In the planned vaccination program for Düsseldorf schools, it's likely that science, such as the vaccine from Biontech, will be utilized. For those seeking knowledge on specific details about the program, including the vaccines for secondary school students, exact schedule, and required documents, it's advised to reach out to local public health offices or school administrations for clarity.
