Especially for diabetics...


Vaccination advice

Based on our vaccination program Viavac® we advise you about necessary vaccinations you need for your trip or which standard vaccinations you still have to do based on your vaccination booklet.

Service

You will receive individualized vaccination recommendations:

  • A review of your immunizations and your current immunization needs, identifying missing immunizations (number of doses, immunization intervals) for all diseases that can be prevented by immunization.
  • Consideration of individual factors - such as immunity already acquired through disease, which makes vaccination unnecessary, or absence of any risk (no travel/risk-free lifestyle).
  • Establish a vaccination catch-up schedule that takes into account upcoming vaccinations with vaccines currently available in Switzerland.
    This facilitates the search for suitable vaccines and reduces the injections to a minimum (combined vaccinations).
  • The possibility of printing the vaccination booklet at any time with all vaccinations already received and future vaccinations, whenever this is necessary.
    (Loss of the vaccination booklet!)
  • For the trip: the existing vaccination protection is checked 4-6 weeks before the start of the trip and any necessary booster vaccinations or completion of the basic vaccinations is recorded. Furthermore, the necessity of vaccinations that are obligatory for entry is checked, as well as indication vaccinations, which are based on the epidemiological situation at the destination, the purpose of the stay (E.g. visit to the local population), the travel style (business trip, beach vacation, trekking), the duration of the trip and the time available until departure.

The vaccination consultation takes about 15-20 minutes and costs Fr. 20.50.
