Vaccinations for adults
The STIKO (Standing Committee on Vaccination at the Robert Koch Institute) recommends regular boosters and additional vaccinations from the age of 60 and for certain risk groups — so that your protection remains reliable in everyday life and in later years
Vaccinations for adults — because protection knows no age limit.
Routine boosters for all adults:
- Tetanus and diphtheria – every 10 years
- Whooping cough (pertussis) – a single dose with the next tetanus booster
From the age of 60 (standard recommendation):
- Influenza (flu) — annually in autumn
- Pneumococci – single vaccination from the age of 60
- Herpes zoster (shingles) — two doses 2 to 6 months apart
From the age of 75 & people at risk from the age of 60:
- RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) – single vaccination in autumn
Specific vaccinations by year of birth or situation:
- Measles (MMR vaccination) – for everyone aged 18 and over, born after 1970, with unclear vaccination status
- COVID-19 – basic protection with at least three antigen contacts (of which ≥ 1 vaccination)
- COVID-19 – annual booster in autumn from the age of 60
It is this simple:
- Check your vaccination record — which vaccinations are missing or need a booster?
- Arrange a vaccination consultation — we will draw up your personal vaccination plan.
- Have your vaccinations given — individually and according to the STIKO recommendation.
Protect yourself actively – for today, tomorrow and later on.
