The emergence of new infectious diseases and, as a result of globalisation, exposure to diseases that had already been largely eradicated in the Federal Republic of Germany show how important it is to put a Protection against Infection Act into place that matches a current requirement profile. A sine qua non for targeted action is a valid data pool on infection epidemiology and its evaluation on the regional, Laender and federal levels. Under the recent Act, more effective use is to be made of laboratory diagnosis technologies, and the co-operation between the medical profession, public health services and scientists intensified to enhance the protection of the general public against infections. Of special importance here are the tasks that fall to the health office as lower health authority with its subsidiary services and in its function as the partner and advisor of the citizens and the inpatient and outpatient health care services. Regulations covering the reporting system, vaccinations and immunizations, hospital hygiene, schools and community facilities, food trade, water for human use, work with pathogens have been rendered more precise and/or updated.
新传染病的出现，以及由于全球化导致接触在德意志联邦共和国已基本根除的疾病，都表明制定一部符合当前需求的《感染防护法》是多么重要。采取有针对性行动的一个必要条件是拥有一个有效的感染流行病学数据库，并在地区、州和联邦层面进行评估。根据最近的法案，将更有效地利用实验室诊断技术，并加强医疗行业、公共卫生服务机构和科学家之间的合作，以加强对公众免受感染的保护。在此，作为下级卫生当局的卫生局及其附属服务部门，以及作为公民和住院及门诊医疗服务机构的合作伙伴和顾问所承担的任务尤为重要。涵盖报告系统、疫苗接种和免疫、医院卫生、学校和社区设施、食品贸易、生活用水、病原体处理等方面的法规已更加精确和/或更新。
