- Current RKI data detected influenza in just four percent of submitted samples in Germany; officially, the season begins at ten percent.
- Berit Lange expects infections to increase but cannot predict whether this will happen in two or four weeks.
- For Germany, the Stiko recommends vaccination from October through mid-December 2026; protection generally develops after 10 to 14 days.
- Vaccination coverage is 30 to 40 percent among adults with underlying conditions, while affected children have barely exceeded 10 percent for 10 to 20 years.
If the vaccination rate drops by 10 percent, then everyone loses.— Berit Lange, STIKO member and head of the Epidemiology Department at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), in an interview with FOCUS online, warning against delaying flu vaccination.

- The EMA reports that around one billion Covid-19 vaccine doses were administered between January 2021 and December 2023, while a WHO/Europe study finds that vaccination reduced pandemic-related mortality in the WHO European Region by at least 57 percent and attributes more than 1.4 million lives saved to it.
- Deaths were reported after vaccination in 12,000 cases, or 0.0012 percent, but the EMA emphasizes that such reports do not establish that the vaccines caused the deaths.
- EuroMOMO says overall mortality in Europe had returned to expected levels by spring 2023, while Eurostat recorded EU excess mortality of minus 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2026 and minus 4.8 percent in March 2026.
