Health authority reminds of reporting obligation
Facility-based compulsory vaccination: late registration by 6 May at the latest
The Chemnitz Health Department once again draws attention to the obligation to register for the facility-related vaccination obligation for a COVID-19 vaccination and calls on all facilities to submit reports that have not yet been submitted by 6 May 2022 at the latest exclusively via the Chemnitz city registration portal.

Since 16 March 2022, persons who are regularly employed in medical facilities such as hospitals, doctors' surgeries or nursing homes must submit proof of immunity (full vaccination or recovery). Alternatively, a certificate stating that they cannot be vaccinated against the coronavirus for medical reasons can be presented. If none of these proofs are provided, the facilities are obliged to notify the public health department in accordance with Section 20a (2) sentence 2 IfSG.
The deadline for the initial notification of existing staff or regularly employed persons expired on 30 March 2022.
Fines of up to €2,500 can be imposed on both employers and their employees if
- employees do not submit proof to the employer or
- fail to comply with the health authority's request to provide proof, or
- employers do not report defaulting employees to the health authority.
