More and more people are being boosted against Corona. However, technical problems may then arise.
Frankfurt – In the fourth Corona wave *, booster vaccinations * will become the central tool in combating pandemics. In the meantime, 22.9 million people in Germany have received their third vaccination against Sars-CoV-2. That corresponds to 27.6% of the population.
According to the Federal Government, a booster vaccination is recommended by the Standing Vaccination Commission “six months after the last vaccination”: “In individual cases or if there is enough vaccine, it can be refreshed after five months.” Which corona vaccine * is used depends on several factors: On the one hand, it depends on whether there is enough vaccine in the respective doctor’s practice or vaccination center. If not, risk groups have priority. On the other hand, age plays a decisive role: The vaccine from Moderna *, for example, is only recommended as a booster vaccination from the age of 30.
After booster vaccination: two QR codes in the CovPass app?
Before the booster vaccination takes place, the correct collection of the data is fundamental: first name, surname, place of residence, date of birth and the last vaccination date must be correctly entered and passed on – otherwise problems may arise.

What is currently unproblematic in Germany has different effects in neighboring countries, for example. The expiry date of the second vaccination is probably decisive. In countries like France or Austria, the status expires after a few months. If a second vaccination certificate is created in the CovPass app due to not exactly the same data, instead of adding the booster vaccination to the existing vaccination certificate, this can be problematic when traveling.
Second corona vaccination certificate in CovPass app? – You have to do this
If a second vaccination certificate including a QR code is displayed, the data should definitely be compared. The error should then be corrected at the respective vaccination center. It is possible that the declaration of consent and the anamnesis have to be re-signed for this. The same applies to general practitioners’ practices. The service is free.
Another important question about the booster vaccination is when the booster vaccination is legally valid. * (Tu) * fr.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
