The Corona pandemic has triggered many students to review their own requirements and current coverage of their health insurance. Many want to ensure that they take care of the relevant eventualities during their stay in Germany. This entails planning how to care for vaccinations against COVID-19.
In general, you do not have to pay for the COVID-19 vaccination. It is free of charge for the general public – regardless of whether and how you are insured and where you get vaccinated. The federal government procures, distributes and finances all vaccines used in Germany – including in doctors’ surgeries.
More information can be found in our Blog article “All you need to know about the COVID-19 vaccination in Germany”.
