Figure 1: Course material for the practice-based seminar – fictive vaccination certificate for “Polly Ester”

Anamnesis: Polly Ester is 30 years old. She would like to get pregnant and wants to have her health status checked so as not to cause damage to the child. As a child she had a strong reaction to a vaccination, the reason why her mother did not allow her to be immunized further. Polly Ester can no longer recall which vaccination caused the reaction or how old she was when it happened.

Task: Does the patient have a complete standard immunity? If not: Which catch-up vaccinations need to be given to achieve the standard protective immunity? Are additional vaccinations necessary or a good idea?
