Zusammenfassung

Seit 2014 ist die Zahl der Asylsuchenden in Deutschland stark angestiegen. Der Anteil der Asylsuchenden aus Ländern mit eingeschränktem Zugang zu medizinischer Versorgung und Impfungen ist erheblich. Durch die enge räumliche Situation in den Erstaufnahmeeinrichtungen besteht für Asylsuchende eine erhöhte Gefahr für Ausbrüche von Infektionskrankheiten. Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel beschreibt die aktuellen Empfehlungen für Impfungen gemäß des RKI und der STIKO.

Abstract

The number of people seeking asylum in Germany has increased dramatically since 2014. Among asylum seekers, the proportion of people from countries with limited access to health care and immunization is considerable. Thus, there is a high probability of infectious disease outbreaks for asylum seekers in their accommodations due to close living conditions. This review article describes the current immunization guidelines in Germany according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO).
