Vaccination - Reporting side effects

Impfung - Nebenwirkung melden
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Doctors must report vaccination reactions that go beyond the usual extent to the Gesundheitsamt (public health office) without delay. Heads of institutions for pathological-anatomical diagnostics are likewise obliged to do so. The Gesundheitsamt reviews the report and forwards anonymized information to the Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales (State Office for Health and Social Affairs). Temporary local and general reactions are not subject to mandatory reporting, provided they do not exceed the usual extent. Please note the reporting obligation to the Arzneimittelkommission der deutschen Ärzteschaft (Drug Commission of the German Medical Profession) under the Berufsordnung für Ärzte (Professional Code of Conduct for Physicians). In addition, there is a voluntary option to report directly to the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut. This option is available to doctors and to private individuals.
