Vaccination study CoVaKo 2021 - Recording of vaccination side effects
What is it about?
Approval studies prove the efficacy and safety of COVID vaccines. It is currently being investigated whether the results can be replicated under everyday conditions. These questions are highly urgent, as millions of people are to be offered the vaccination within a very short time. In order to obtain a reliable assessment of the side effects of the COVID vaccination, comparative data from other vaccinations (influenza, pneumococcal or shingles) should also be taken into account. As part of this study, the Institute of General Practice is actively recording the side effects of various vaccinations. The focus is on adverse events that have led to medical care, medication or incapacity to work.
Prozedure
In the participating vaccination centers as well as in GP and specialist practices, vaccinated persons will receive a handout together with their vaccination card immediately after vaccination, on which the link/QR code to the survey page can be found.
Update
Update 12/21: Presentation of the first results to Minister of State Siebler.
Update 04/21: Registration for participation in the survey on vaccination side effects ended on April 16. In the coming weeks, we will then turn our attention to analyzing the data. As soon as the results are available, we will inform you on our website.
