Compulsory vaccinations in the healthcare system are coming. Those who are not vaccinated must expect entry bans. It is decided on a case-by-case basis.
Hamburg – From March 16, vaccinations will be compulsory in certain Hamburg facilities. Anyone who works in outpatient or (partly) inpatient facilities, healthcare companies and in the area of care, nursing and accommodation for elderly, disabled or people in need of care must be vaccinated or have recovered in order to be able to continue doing their job.
24hamburg.de reveals what this means for Hamburg and what happens to unvaccinated people here.
Anyone who has not been vaccinated by March 15th will be reported to the health department by the employer via a simple online service.
