Vaccination facility in Rhine area temporarily halts operations
In Rhein-Kreis Neuss, the central vaccination centre at Hellersbergstr. 2-4 in Neuss will close permanently as a result of the state decree, effective from January 1, 2023. This marks a shift in the vaccination process for residents in the region.
From now on, individuals seeking COVID-19 vaccinations or other vaccines will have to contact their **general practitioner (Hausarzt)** or a **specialized physician** in Rhein-Kreis Neuss directly for an appointment and vaccination. This decentralization means people will need to arrange their vaccinations through their local doctors' offices.
This change aligns with the general policy across Germany after January 2023, when many local vaccination centres were shut down, and vaccinations became integrated into regular medical care. It is standard practice in Germany for vaccination responsibilities to transition to doctors' offices and sometimes local pharmacies.
For more precise, up-to-date information for Rhein-Kreis Neuss, checking the official Rhein-Kreis Neuss health department or local government website is advisable.
Vulnerable groups such as care homes and assisted living facilities will continue to be vaccinated by the KoCI of Rhein-Kreis Neuss in the new year. No registration is required for these vaccination offers.
The vaccination actions at the Montanushof Grevenbroich and the Neusser Rheinpark-Center will no longer occur after the state decree. The last vaccination appointments at the Montanushof were on December 12, 2022, and at the Rheinpark-Center on December 17, 2022. Vaccinations at the Hellersbergstr. 2-4 center in Neuss will cease operation as of December 18, 2022.
Individuals seeking vaccination in the new year can only do so at their family doctor or certain pharmacies. Pharmacies or health authorities may also occasionally offer vaccination events or provide information on where to get vaccinated.
