description Abstract The amendment of the Infection Protection Act at the end of November 2021 made it possible to map vaccinated, recovered and tested employees at the firm-level for the first time after the start of vaccinations in Germany. The Employers’ Associations of Lower Saxony (UVN), IHK Hannover, creditreform and the Institute for Economic Policy at Leibniz University Hanover conducted a short online survey on the vaccination and recovery status, the number of antigen rapid tests as well as the proportion of employees working from home. The results provide important indications about the general risk in everyday professional life, as well as the associated organisational effort in firms.
