Now book appointments for measles-immunity evidence online!

From now on, personal appointments in Saxony can be booked online for the presentation of immunity detections against measles. This is an important step in order to meet the requirements of the MASER Protection Act that has been in force since March 1, 2020. The law obliges a broad group of people to provide evidence of their measles protection. These include children in daycare centers, students and trainees as well as employees in numerous health and care facilities.

If you need a personal appointment, you can conveniently book it at this link or contact the Office for Health and Prevention by phone. The contact is possible between Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and Tuesdays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on 0371 488-5897.

documents and evidence

For the template, some important documents are necessary: ​​a vaccination card or a medical certificate about existing immunity or medical contraindication to measles vaccination must be brought. An official ID document may also be required. It should be noted that the evidence in the original or as a certified copy must be presented. The documents are only accepted on the agreed date; There is no immediate examination or assessment. The assessment is later carried out by the doctors: inside the office.

The Federal Ministry of Health also makes it clear that the causality between vaccination and health damage is decisive for the recognition of vaccine damage that occurs after January 01, 2024. In many cases, proof of the probability of the causal connection is sufficient. This means that the hurdles for those affected who have suffered health problems through their measles vaccination protection were somewhat reduced.

legal consequences and fines

The measles protection law also provides sensitive punishments: If you do not fulfill the obligation to vaccinate, you can prosecute up to 2,500 euros. However, a forced vaccination is not permitted. For people who have concerns about possible vaccination damage, experts recommend that they get a doctor before vaccination in order to check any medical contraindications.
