Status: 11/17/2021 11:25 AM
All people aged 12 or over in Germany are entitled to a corona vaccine. How does registration work? AndAnn, where and to whom is the booster vaccination available? How are the procedures different in the northern German states?
Vaccination against corona virus and booster vaccinations Free for all citizens. GPs, specialists and company doctors now vaccinate – previously this was done at vaccination centers in cities and communities. The initial priority of which group should be vaccinated first has now been raised as there is sufficient vaccine available in this country.
Vaccination offers also for children and adolescents
A few weeks before the end of the summer holidays in several federal states, the Permanent Immunization Committee (Stiko) spoke out in favor of universal coronavirus vaccinations for all 12-year-olds on August 16. After carefully weighing the new data, the assessment now comes that “according to the current state of knowledge, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks of rare side effects of the vaccine,” the independent panel justified its decision. Until then, Stiko had only recommended coronavirus vaccinations for 12 to 17-year-olds with certain pre-existing illnesses.
Recommended booster vaccinations for the elderly and those with pre-existing diseases
In Germany, everyone from the age of 12 is entitled to a booster vaccination. As a rule, this is the third vaccination, which you get in the nearest six months after the second vaccination. The exception: People who have been vaccinated against Johnson & Johnson must be vaccinated again after four weeks, as protection from this vaccine is not as high as it is after the Biontech or Moderna vaccine.
Ultimately, individual physicians decide who receives the booster vaccination. These typically adhere to the recommendations of the Federal and State Governments’ Conference of Ministers of Health (GMK) or the Standing Committee on Immunization (Stiko). Expert team currently recommend booster vaccinations For people with weakened immune systems as well as for people over 70 years of age. Vaccination protection for healthcare and nursing staff should also be updated. According to its president, Thomas Mertens, Stiko plans to recommend a third vaccination in the future for all people over the age of 18.

These vaccines are available
Four vaccines are currently approved in Germany for immunization: the so-called mRNA vaccines from Biontech / Pfizer and Moderna and the Vector-based vaccines from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. However, vaccinations with AstraZeneca are running out in Germany, and the last doses can be ordered on November 9. For complete immunization against the coronavirus, two doses of each mRNA vaccine are required, which, according to the latest recommendations of the Permanent Vaccination Committee, should be injected every three to six weeks (Biontech) or four to six weeks (Moderna).
Johnson & Johnson’s booster vaccination is recommended
With the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, only one scoop is supposed to be needed for a complete immunization. However, Stiko has recommended booster vaccination since the beginning of October because protection against the dominant delta variant is insufficient. To improve vaccination protection, Stiko now recommends giving the mRNA vaccine four weeks after a single vaccination with Johnson & Johnson.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for tourists to display bad manners while on vacation. Sometimes it gets to the point that the local government feels forced to take action against them: an example of this is banning entry to geisha areas in the Japanese city of Kyoto after tourists behaved disrespectfully towards the artists. In a small Japanese town near Mount Fuji, a popular photo of vacationers is obscured with privacy gauze because they leave a lot of trash behind and block paths. In Venice, fines are imposed for not wearing a shirt and swimming in the canals because many holidaymakers do not follow the rules.

Pay attention to information panels explaining the context of the memorial to determine appropriate behavior.
- No cappuccino in the afternoon: In Italy, after midday is common coffee – Any espresso – I drank. If you order a cappuccino, you are fooling yourself and revealing yourself as a tourist – and someone who has not studied Italian coffee culture.

Israel begins evacuating Rafah before military action

The Israeli army begins evacuating the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The army calls on residents of the eastern part of the city, located on the border with Egypt, to go to Al-Mawasi camp on the Mediterranean Sea, a few kilometers north. Military action is expected.
The Israeli army began evacuating the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, in preparation for an expected military operation. The army called on residents of the eastern part of the city, located on the border with Egypt, to go to Al-Mawasi camp on the Mediterranean Sea, a few kilometers north.
Indirect negotiations between Israel and the Islamic terrorist Hamas movement in Cairo regarding a new ceasefire in the Gaza war and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners had previously remained unsuccessful. Israel wants to use the military operation in Rafah to destroy the remaining brigades of the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas. There are also suspected hostages in the city on the border with Egypt.
Israel’s allies have been warning urgently for months against launching such an attack in Rafah because hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are gathering there. However, Israel believes that the operation is necessary to ensure the destruction of Hamas’ combat capabilities. Otherwise, it could regain its power after the war ends.
The border crossing is closed
Members of Hamas’ military wing fired rockets at Israel’s Kerem Shalom border crossing on Sunday, killing three Israeli soldiers. Kerem Shalom is considered the main border crossing for delivering aid from Israel to the Gaza Strip. The army temporarily closed the crossing to humanitarian transport after the missile attack. According to his statements, the army then bombed the place in the Gaza Strip near the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, from which the attack was launched.
Before the combat operations in Rafah, Israel said that it wanted to evacuate the city first. This is expected to take several weeks. Israel said that Hamas prepared its fighters in Rafah to deploy against Israel and provided them with supplies and weapons. According to media reports, the number of hostage guards has also been increased.
Ground attack in stages
According to information received from the Wall Street Journal, Israel wants to carry out its ground attack in Rafah in stages. The newspaper wrote about two to three weeks of evacuation and six weeks of attack. Senior Israeli intelligence and military officials met in Cairo last month, among others, with the head of Egyptian intelligence to discuss Israel’s planned deployment of its army in Rafah.
The head of the Egyptian Information Service, Diaa Rashwan, had previously stated that there were no discussions with Israel about its possible military attack in Rafah. Egypt strongly rejects plans for such an attack and has made this position clear several times. The city to the south is the only city on the enclosed coastal strip that remains relatively intact.
Egypt fears, among other things, that the Israeli deployment in Rafah will lead to a rush of Palestinians across the border. The border crossing from the Gaza Strip to Egypt is located in Rafah, and is also an important gateway for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the closed coastal enclave. Intense fighting in Rafah may further complicate deliveries of food, medicine and fuel.

People in Georgia have been protesting against a government law for weeks. One expert suspects Russian influence behind the project.
Tbilisi – In recent days, Georgia has witnessed huge demonstrations against the law planned by the government. The law stipulates that NGOs that receive more than 20 percent of their funds from abroad must identify the source of the funds and register with the authorities. According to one expert, the Kremlin may be behind the proposed law in Georgia.
Protests in Georgia: Experts suspect the Kremlin is behind the law
Thousands of people protested against the law in Georgia on Friday (May 3) with slogans such as “No to the Russian government” or “We will not tire.” The bill was approved on second reading on Wednesday (May 1). But for weeks, people have taken to the streets and confronted police, who have responded to the demonstrations with tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets.
Critics accuse Georgia’s Russia-allied government of modeling the law on Russia’s „proxy law.” “In terms of internal politics, there is actually no explanation for this,” Stefan Mallerius, representative of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Tbilisi, says in ZDF magazine today. The Georgian government withdrew the “Russian law,” as some called it, in March 2023 after massive protests. For Mallerius, the fact that it will now come into force comes “suddenly.”
Georgia: Law through „foreign interference”
The head of the regional program in the South Caucasus suspects „interference from abroad, specifically from Russia.” “There has to be a connection from the Kremlin or the Kremlin region,” he says. Malerios suspects that Georgian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is considered the country’s unofficial decision-maker, is behind the law. Malerius continues to speculate, saying, “He was told or made clear that he had to introduce this law now.” Ivanishvili was the initiator of the inter-party alliance and today’s ruling party, the Georgian Dream.
The law still needs Parliament’s approval on a third reading. This is scheduled to be done within two weeks. Pro-European President Salome Zurabishvili is expected to veto the measure. But pro-government representatives in parliament have a sufficient majority to override the president’s veto. The ruling party aims for the law to enter into force in mid-May. Georgia has been an official candidate for European Union membership since last December. Green Party politician Anton Hofreiter sees Georgia’s accession as being at risk from the law. (FCA/AFP)
