COVID vaccination (JN.1)
Vaccinations as of 09.09.24
Dear patients,
In accordance with the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency, we will be carrying out vaccinations with the latest variant vaccine (KP.2) for the current season.
There are now 2 different vaccines in stock at the surgery:
Comirnaty (mRNA vaccine from Biotech/Pfizer)
Nuvaxovid (protein vaccine from Novavax)
Nuvaxovid is finally available in single doses! You can therefore easily book a vaccination appointment of your choice immediately online: to online appointment booking
As Comirnaty is again a vaccine for which 7 people or a multiple thereof must always be vaccinated in one day, a little more planning is unfortunately necessary here.
Therefore, please register your vaccination request for Comirnaty by e-mail to the surgery: anmeldung@drbrose.at
We will then contact you to organise an appointment.
