The corona vaccine is – together with distancing and hygiene regulations and testing – the most important means of containing the pandemic. In order to make it possible for students to return to their studies, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is encouraging all students, prospective students and employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19. There are currently a number of possibilities to get vaccinated.
Possibilities for Vaccination
Doctor's Office
You can also make a vaccination appointment at a general practitioner’s office. The best way to do this is to contact the practice directly and personally clarify the details.
For non-German speakers, the International Office has compiled a list of general practitioners’ offices in Weimar that offer services in English.
Vaccination without Appointment
Special vaccination campaigns are organised; these campaigns allow people to be vaccinated without having to register beforehand or are offered in conjunction with other events.

What do I have to bring with me to my vaccination appointment?
Be sure to bring the following documents with you to your appointment:
- Your health insurance card
- Your vaccination book/pass (if you do not have a vaccination book/pass, you will be given a replacement)
- In cases of pre-existing conditions or allergies: Medication list, allergy records, coagulation monitor
- Your ID card or passport (at special vaccination campaigns)
Information for people vaccinated with a vaccine not licensed in the EU
Can people who have been vaccinated abroad (with Sinovac, Sinopharm, Sputnik, etc.) be vaccinated again with an EU-approved vaccine?
People who have already been vaccinated abroad with COVID-19 vaccines that are not licensed in the EU need, according to the current legal situation and taking into account the age-appropriate vaccination recommendations, a renewed series of vaccinations in order to obtain the status of vaccinated persons in the EU. For this classification, persons (currently) need a complete vaccination series with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). A current list of EU-approved COVID-19 vaccines as well as information on the required number of vaccine doses can be found on the PEI website.
The vaccination series should be started at a minimum interval of ≥ 28 days. In such cases, the persons to be vaccinated should be informed that increased local and systemic reactions may occur. The vaccinating physicians are asked to actively observe the occurrence of increased vaccination reactions and, if necessary, to report them to the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI).
