The year 2022 is still in its infancy - and there are already innovations.

In February, consumers will be faced with some changes again.

It is now important to note that.

Munich – Corona is and will remain one of the top topics in February.

Be it the new vaccine or the change in the deadline for vaccination certificates.

But there is something else worth knowing.

From February 2022 new validity of the vaccination certificate

In most areas of public life, nothing works without a digital vaccination card.

However, from February 1, 2022, the vaccination certificates will be valid in the European Union for a shorter period.

People who have only been vaccinated twice to date should know that their vaccination certificate will have a new expiry date from February 1st.

The certificate is no longer valid for twelve but only nine months.

With this change, the federal government is implementing a requirement of the EU Commission from last December.

In concrete terms, this innovation means: On February 1, 2022, all people who were considered basic immunized before May 7, 2021 will lose their status.

How many people are affected?

According to an evaluation by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), which is available to Focus Online, there were 8.8 million people in Germany at the time.

From February: Facebook, Youtube and Co. have to take stricter action against hate speech

This is how it was planned: From February 1, 2022, providers such as Facebook, WhatsApp and other social networks are to hand over alleged criminal content, IP addresses or passwords of suspects to security authorities.

"This will lead to quick and consistent investigations against propagandists - before their words become deeds," writes the Ministry of Justice on its website.

However, Facebook and Youtube have filed legal complaints questioning whether February is the deadline for the change.

New from February: The vaccine Novovax should come

At the end of February the wait for

him will

be over.

Novovax is the fifth vaccine available in Germany.

According to a report by the "Tagesspiegel", a first delivery of 1.75 million doses of the vaccine should be available from February 21st.

The so-called "dead vaccine" could be an alternative for mRNA vaccine skeptics.

How people accept the offer remains to be seen.

Up to 6,000 euros training bonus plus until mid-February

The training premium plus is intended as support for companies that are sticking to the number of their training places despite the Corona crisis - or even increasing them.

It is filled out as a one-time grant of up to 6,000 euros per employment contract.

"If the training begins between June 1, 2021 and February 15, 2022, the funding from the training bonus increases to EUR 4,000 per training contract, and the training bonus plus to EUR 6,000,” writes the Federal Employment Agency.

Companies with up to 499 employees can apply for the relevant funding until mid-February.

Not in February - tax return for 2020 can be submitted later

People who want or have to submit an income tax return and seek help from an income tax assistance association or a tax consultant usually have until the end of February of the year after next to submit it.

But this year is different: because of the pandemic, the federal government has extended the submission deadline by a quarter of a year.

The new deadline is now May 31, 2022.

February news for home builders

The traffic light government is planning to spend more money on energy-efficient construction in the new year and is promoting so-called efficiency houses.

Persons commissioning the construction can apply for appropriate funds from the KfW development bank and the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA).

As of February 1st, there will be a change in policy.

The federal funding for new buildings that achieve the KfW Efficiency House Standard 55 is ending.

To explain: A KfW Efficiency House 55 is a building with a high energy standard that only needs 55 percent of the energy of a new building.

From February 1st, homes that meet the KfW Efficiency House 40 standard will be subsidised.
