First, the "Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung" (online) reported about it.
Potsdam – Novavax is primarily intended to vaccinate nurses and medical staff who have not yet been able to decide on a Covid 19 vaccination.
According to the decision of the Conference of Health Ministers, vaccination will be compulsory for these employees from mid-March.
A complete vaccination with the new vaccine is then still possible in a timely manner.
