Berlin Sets Oct. 8 'Long Night of Vaccinations' With Pharmacies Open Late

The nationwide campaign prioritizes high-risk groups in line with Stiko guidance.

Overview

  • Numerous Berlin pharmacies will vaccinate into the evening on October 8, with some locations open until 22:00 for COVID-19 and influenza shots.
  • More than 300 sites nationwide are listed to take part, including doctor’s offices and occupational physicians, with details available on the official website.
  • Brandenburg’s Gesundheitsamt Neuruppin plans vaccinations from 17:00 to 21:00, and visitors are asked to bring an insurance card and vaccination record.
  • The action returns for a third year to raise uptake before respiratory season, with pharmacists calling October an optimal time for protection.
  • Stiko advises annual boosters for people 60+ and other risk groups, and federal public-health officials say vaccination markedly cuts the risk of severe illness.
