Even though there is not yet a recommendation for a booster vaccination for all adults, 78 percent of the fully vaccinated in Germany are ready for another vaccination dose against Covid-19. Among the over-65s, the willingness is even higher at 89 percent. This was the result of the representative survey European COvid Survey (ECOS), which was conducted by the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) at the University of Hamburg in September. The respondents are also in favour of donating every second vaccination dose to emerging and developing countries.
