In general, vaccinations against the coronavirus are available in doctors' surgeries and some pharmacies. Further information on the coronavirus vaccination is available here on the City of Essen website (German).
People over the age of 12 years can receive their first, second or booster vaccination. Usually, a mRNA vaccine (Moderna or BioNTech/Pfizer) is used. Children from six months to eleven years, especially if they have previous illnesses, can also be vaccinated.
