Book an Appointment
Travel vaccinations should ideally be completed at least 14 days before travel. You should therefore book an appointment well in advance, preferably 4 to 8 weeks before departure. But even if you decide to travel at short notice, individual vaccinations are often still possible and travel medical advice makes sense.

Services, Prices and Payment
We offer tailored travel advice in preparation for your trip. The costs of the travel consultation depend on the time required and are based on the TARMED standard medical time tariff (➔ see our price list). A consultation lasts on average 25 minutes; families should allow one hour. As part of the travel consultation, your current vaccine protection is checked and an individual vaccination schedule is drawn up.
The costs of any vaccinations required as well as their administration and documentation in the vaccination certificate are not included in the travel consultation. We generally do not offer the administration of vaccinations without first checking your existing vaccine protection and the indication. The travel consultation and vaccinations must be paid for on site at the day of the appointment. We accept card payments (Maestro, Postfinance, VISA, MASTERCARD, DINERS) and Twint. Unfortunately we cannot accept cash payments. Invoicing or direct billing to your health insurance is not possible. Partial vaccinations required for basic immunisation must be paid for on the day of administration.
You will receive a reimbursement certificate on payment, which you can submit to your health insurance. Mandatory health insurance usually covers the costs of the recommended routine vaccinations as well as some other vaccinations and vaccinations for people with an increased risk of exposure or complications (if the deductible/“franchise” has already been exhausted). Please check with your health insurance as to which individual costs they cover.
Cancelling an Appointment
Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance (by calling +41 61 284 82 55 or emailing: tropmed@swisstph.ch). We must charge for appointments which have not been cancelled in due time (as per TARMED).
