Since September, Germany has already been running the Booster vaccinations to protect against Corona. Initially, only a certain group of people were allowed to watch the third (resp. In some cases, pick up second) prick. But the rules have been changed. Can now anyone who wants to get a booster?

According to the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), the booster offer has been well received by. "The feedback so far shows that the interest in booster vaccinations according to the Stiko recommendation is quite large," said a spokesman for the Deutsche Presse-Agentur . One recommends to perceive the vaccination according to the recommendation of the permanent vaccination commission (Stiko). The KBV represents about 181.000 doctors and psychotherapists working in practices.

Corona: Who gets now the booster vaccination?

According to the decision of the Health Ministers Conference (GMK) and a recommendation of the Stiko, the third Corona vaccination was initially considered only for certain people, as the portal "Together against Corona" informs. In addition counted:

people aged 70 and over
residents of care facilities
Nursing staff and medical personnel with direct contact with patients
People who have received the vaccine from Johnson Johnson or their complete vaccine series from AstraZeneca
Persons who have received a dose of a vector vaccine after a Corona infection
Persons with immunodeficiency or immunosuppression
Close contacts of persons with severe immune deficiency
People 60 and older after individual consideration

Do they all get the booster now?

But some time ago, German Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) had already advocated offering a booster to all those who had been vaccinated. Now also the Stiko follows this suggestion and speaks itself for basic boosters out in all persons over 18 years of age.

Booster vaccination: when can I get vaccinated?

But it needs no recommendation of the Stiko. As reported by the "FAZ" with a reference to the Ministry of Health, all those who are over 12 years old and whose last vaccination dose of the first vaccination was some time ago, could receive a booster vaccination.

In principle, a recommendation by the Stiko is not legally binding. The legal basis is the vaccination ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Health, which has been amended, as it is further said. Only the intervals between vaccinations would have to be observed.

A spokesman told the FAZ: "According to the vaccination ordinance, a booster vaccination is possible for everyone whose vaccination was given more than six months ago. Vaccine is also available for them."Thus one could agree upon after expiration of the time simply a date with its family doctor for the Booster inoculation. Giving the booster vaccine is at his discretion.

Where can I get the Corona booster shot??

The organization of booster vaccination is left to the states. Immunization can take place, for example, at treating physicians, in care facilities by mobile vaccination teams or even at the vaccination center.

Which vaccine is used for the booster vaccination??

For the booster vaccination, only mRNA vaccines are used – i.e. the vaccines from Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna. This also applies to those who were previously vaccinated with a vector vaccine from Astrazeneca or JohnsonJohnson.

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach referred in a tweet to U.S. studies that showed that it is advisable to change the vaccine in the booster: "Moderna for Biontech vaccinated, Biontech for Moderna vaccinated, and Moderna for JJ vaccinated," Lauterbach summarizes the result. There is no regulation in this regard in this country yet.

The result of the Bundestag election is extremely close: only 1.6 percentage points separate the CDU/CSU from the election winner SPD. The Social Democrats have made significant gains compared to the 2017 election, as have the Greens. And also small parties, often referred to as "others," made gains: From five percent at the Federal election 2017 to now 8.6 percent. One of the parties even managed to enter the Bundestag.

SPD	CDU/CSU	Green	FDP	AfD	The Left	Other
25,7	24,1	14,8	11,5	10,3	4,9	8,7

299 of 299 constituencies are counted. The data comes from the Federal Election Commissioner (as of 4.30 a.m.) and are expressed as a percentage.

Other parties in the 2021 federal election

A look at the small parties is thus worthwhile. Among them, for example, the Pirate Party or the far-right NPD party. Both have already been represented in state parliaments – but they have never managed to get into the Bundestag. They did not succeed in 2021 either, receiving only 0.4 percent (Pirates) and 0.1 percent (NPD) of the second votes cast.

The Left Party could also theoretically be counted among the other parties after the 2017 Bundestag election, as it did not reach the five-percent hurdle. The Left Party is nevertheless represented in the Bundestag: The basic mandate clause allows it to enter parliament with 39 deputies thanks to winning three direct mandates.

SSW – Here's how it fared

The Southern Schleswig Voters' Association (SSW) is a special case among German parties: he represents the Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein and the national Frisians. These also see themselves as a minority and not as part of the Germans. To Minorities political representation in Germany, their party is exempt from the five-percent hurdle in federal elections.

In fact, this is how the SSW managed to win a place in the Bundestag to grab – top candidate Stefan Seidler will enter parliament as a non-factional deputy. 55.330 Zweitstimmen and thus 0.1 per cent seizes the party. However, this is not a novelty: Already in 1949, the SSW candidate Hermann Clausen made it into the Bundestag. From 1961 to this year's Bundestag election, however, the SSW did not run again.

Federal election: The result of the free voters

In Bavaria, they are part of the state government, and in many municipalities, too, the Free Voters of importance. Nationwide they played so far however no role. And that is likely to remain the case. Because although the Free Voters are the largest of the small parties with 2.4 percent of the second votes nationwide, it is not enough for them to enter the Bundestag.

The basis – This is how the party performed

Only in July 2020 was "The basis" founded in the environment of the protests against the Corona measures of the federal government. It is close to the so-called "lateral thinkers" and was conspicuous before the Bundestag election by anti-Semitic statements and right-wing conspiracy theories. In the Bundestag election, the party achieved 1.4 percent of the second votes.

The party – result in the Bundestag election

The party does not take himself quite seriously. After all, it was also founded as a satire party by satirist and journalist Martin Sonneborn. This seems to resonate with some voters: One percent voted for the party in the federal election. For a move into the Bundestag this is not enough however.

The results of the other parties at a glance

Overall, the other parties received 8.6 percent of the second votes in the federal election. The results at a glance:

Party	Share of second votes
Free voters	2,4 %
Animal Protection Party	1,5 %
The base	1,4 %
The party	1,0 %
Team Todenhofer	0,5 %
Pirates	0,4 %
Volt	0,4 %
oDP	0,2 %
NPD	0,1 %
V-Party3	0,1 %
BP	0,1 %
Health research	0,1 %
The Humanists	0,1 %
Alliance C	0,1 %
SSW	0,1 %

All parties not mentioned received less than 0.1 percent of the second votes.
