The first pharmacies can again issue vaccination certificates
On Thursday afternoon, the first pharmacies were able to issue digital vaccination certificates again. The certification will not be continued via the previous website “Mein Apothekenportal”, but via a new portal, “dav.impfproof.info”. The big difference: the new website cannot be accessed via a regular Internet connection, but only within the telematics infrastructure. It may take some time before the routing is redirected to all affiliated pharmacies. The Federal Association of German Pharmacy Software Houses is currently assuming that all pharmacies will be able to access the new DAV portal by the middle of next week.
German economy is growing again
After the emergency stop at the beginning of the year in the corona pandemic, the German economy has found its way back to growth. The gross domestic product rose by 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the previous quarter, as the Federal Statistical Office announced on the basis of preliminary data. Economists expect Europe’s largest economy to make a strong comeback this year. Economic research institutes recently predicted an increase in gross domestic product of between 3.2 and 3.9 percent. In addition to delivery bottlenecks, however, the spread of the delta variant of the corona virus is currently causing uncertainty.

The new rules are intended to create a new hierarchy in road traffic: Those who can cause greater damage to others with their vehicle should also bear greater responsibility.
