DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Serious so-called adverse drug reactions (ADRs) after vaccinations are very rare. According to § 6 para. 1 Infektionsschutzgesetz (IfSG), the suspicion of a health damage exceeding the usual extent of a vaccination reaction has to be reported by name. The notification is made by the physician to the public health department. According to § 11 para. 4 IfSG, the health offices are obliged to report the reported suspected cases to the competent Land authority and the competent higher federal authority, the Paul Ehrlich Institute, in accordance with the provisions of data protection in pseudonymised form (personal details are to be made unidentifiable). The obligation to report according to IfSG applies in any case. Irrespective of this, it is possible to report directly to the manufacturer or online directly to the PEI.
