Acronym for "Standing Committee on Immunization". The STIKO is an expert commission based at the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin which regularly issues recommendations on protective vaccinations for children and adults.

STIKO's recommendations are usually published once a year in the RKI's Epidemiological Bulletin and on the RKI's website. Since 2004, detailed reasons for the recommendations have been published. Further statements by STIKO on individual vaccinations can be found under the heading "Mitteilungen".

General information

Since 2007, the vaccinations recommended by the STIKO have been the basis for the protective vaccination guideline (SIRL) of the Federal Joint Committee (GBA) and, upon acceptance into the SIRL, have become compulsory benefits of the statutory health insurance (GKV) in Germany.
