Please be aware that only fully vaccinated/recovered people can take part in person to our meeting. Please check the validity of your vaccination status as a third vaccination may be necessary.
- For actual vaccination guidelines and valid vaccines in Germany (BioNTech, Moderna, Astrazeneca, Janssen, Novavax), please look at the →PEI site.

- Rules according to March 2022 are the following (for further details see →here):
-Covid certificate is valid 9 months, after this time a booster is necessary.
-A certificate includes 2 vaccinations or recovery, after three months with a vaccination.
-Our symposium probably will be held at '2G+' which means vaccinated/recovered plus tested. - Testing: tests won't be mandatory as you are all vaccinated, but to keep our meeting safe, we will ask you to test yourself on a daily basis. You can either go to an official test center for a test, or test yourself with a valid test. We can provide the tests for you (ca 2 EUR per test). In case you need those, please contact the conference office in time to order.
"Tested" means tested with a rapid (antigen) test, which can be made for free on several sites in the city.
Please be aware of the hygiene rules during our conference. There is also a description of our daily testing procedure.
