VACCINATION AGAINST COVID-19 IS:
- VOLUNTARY
- FREE (more precisely: paid by your health insurance carrier) - except for self-payers
- only EMA-approved vaccines are used (more information about vaccines used)
- currently, the amount of vaccines in our population is, unfortunately, not sufficient yet, thus, it is necessary to prioritize the doses (i.e., vulnerable population groups as elderly and those suffering under a chronic disease as well as essential infrastructure workers (medical workers, social workers, school staff, etc.) get vaccinated first)

How to register to the booking system, how to book a timeslot and what exactly all the things mean?
In order to ensure a smooth distribution of the (still short-supply) vaccines, it is indispensable to know, who and where is interested in getting vaccinated. Therefore, a registration is necessary. The subsequent distribution of the vaccine doses is based on the data got from these registrations.

čTečka - using this app, you can scan the QR code of a certificate (on paper or digital one) and find out whether the certificate holder possesses a valid certificate of vaccination, testing or having survived a COVID-19 infection. It can be, for instance, useful for service store owners - it replaces checking the certificate by eye and, contrary to the "eye-check", detects the QR code signature, preventing certificate fraud.
