National vaccination strategies, vaccination recommendations, vaccination campaigns, logistical issues and timing of vaccination were discussed. Cross-border aspects were also discussed. In this context, Federal Councillor Berset presented the Swiss vaccination strategy and provided information on the current status of work in Switzerland.
In a joint final declaration, the health ministers emphasized the importance of cooperation and mutual information.
Close cooperation with neighboring countries and other European partners and between regulatory authorities will be very important in connection with vaccination strategies. Among other things, it is important to find good solutions for cross-border commuters and for other cross-border issues. Accordingly, the close exchange at the international level will be continued in the future.
