Overview

• Across Germany, participating pharmacies, medical practices and workplace physicians will offer evening vaccination hours, with many pharmacies planning roughly 19:00–22:00 sessions.
• In North Rhine-Westphalia, organizers say some locations will operate until midnight, with sites listed on an interactive map at lange-nacht-des-impfens.de.
• Family doctors are backing the effort with a Month of Vaccinations throughout October that adds special clinics and outreach in care homes.
• Wildeshausen’s public health office will hold a free, no-appointment clinic from 15:00 to 21:00 that accepts only a vaccination card and offers flu, COVID-19 and a combined diphtheria–tetanus–polio–pertussis booster.
• The campaign follows STIKO guidance prioritizing annual COVID-19 boosters for higher‑risk groups and responds to RKI data showing influenza vaccination rates of 38% among people 60+ and 31% among adults with chronic illness.
