We are in the descending phase of the fifth wave of the epidemic, which is why the government has introduced epidemiological restrictions and the obligation to wear masks has ended. This afternoon, Friday and Saturday will also be a vaccination campaign day.
Unvaccinated people and those who received their previous vaccination more than 4 months ago are still waiting for the vaccination. The booster vaccination is recommended for everyone who received the previous vaccination more than 4 months ago. By taking the third vaccination, protection can be increased to 80-90% again. The government continues to provide the opportunity to be vaccinated for everyone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated. Vaccination is still possible at hospital vaccination points, family doctors and family pediatricians. The registration and appointment website is constantly open.
