Measles Vaccination Status Check: Mandatory Proof for Affected Industries
Since March 1, 2020, the Measles Protection Act (Section 20 (8) IfSG, German law) applies: mandatory proof for everyone born after 1970 who works in community facilities, healthcare, daycare centers, or schools. 2 MMR vaccinations OR proof of immunity OR a medical certificate. Employers must request and document proof. Fine: up to €2,500 for violations.
Idea to get started
HR creates a list of all employees in affected roles. Request vaccination records and file them in personnel files. Missing records: set a deadline (4 weeks). Organize catch-up vaccinations with the occupational physician. Don't forget the documentation obligation!
