The new diseases are caused by the delta virus mutant, and the unvaccinated are at greatest risk, so we ask them to register and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Less than 1% of those vaccinated become ill, and the course of the disease is usually much milder than those vaccinated.

The immunity that develops after vaccination - in the case of all vaccines - weakens after a few months, so for stronger protection against the virus, everyone over 18 years of age who has been vaccinated more than 4 months ago is recommended to receive the third vaccination.

From November, wearing a mask on public transport is again mandatory, in order to increase vaccination coverage, employers can require their employees to be vaccinated. Vaccination is expected in the public sector, in municipalities the mayors can decide on the issue. Companies that require their employees to be vaccinated can also request a vaccine from the county vaccination workgroups, in which case the company doctors can also carry out the vaccination.
