Vaccination-related questions to seek advice on

We can help with questions about:

  • Travel vaccines
  • Childhood vaccinations
  • Adult vaccinations
  • Protection for people with chronic illnesses
  • Creating a vaccination schedule
  • Assessing your vaccination needs. For example, the combined vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis should be administered to adults every 10 years.

Vaccine-preventable infectious diseases

Vaccines help protect you and your loved ones from a number of infectious diseases. The need for vaccination depends on your age, health status, previous vaccinations and lifestyle.

  • Chickenpox

    Contagious viral disease that causes an itchy rash and complications.

  • Diphtheria

    Bacterial infection that can damage the heart and nervous system.

  • Measles

    Contagious viral disease that can cause serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis.

  • Meningococcal disease

    Bacterial meningitis, which can be life-threatening.

How to prepare for your appointment

  • Bring your ID card or another form of identification.
  • Gather all your existing vaccination records (e.g., vaccination card, medical history, digital health record printout).
  • Think about your health condition, past illnesses, allergies, and any medications you use.
  • If you are planning to travel, write down your travel plans (destination, dates) so we can recommend suitable travel vaccines.
  • No special preparation (e.g., fasting) is necessary.
  • The vaccine is given as an injection in the upper arm, so wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your upper arm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is adult vaccination important?

Adult vaccination is important to renew protection against diseases from childhood and to protect against new threats, especially when travelling or if you are in a risk group.

Do I need a referral for vaccination?

No, you can come for a vaccination without a referral. However, a doctor’s consultation is necessary to assess your vaccination needs.

What should I bring to the appointment?

Bring your ID card, all existing vaccination records (e.g., vaccination card, digital health record printout), and information about your health condition.

How quickly do vaccines work and how long does the protection last?

The effect of vaccines usually begins within a few weeks after the injection. The duration of protection varies by vaccine, ranging from several years to lifelong.
Do vaccines have side effects? Most side effects are mild and temporary (e.g., pain or redness at the injection site, mild fever). Serious side effects are rare. The doctor will give you more detailed information.

What vaccines are needed for travel?

The need for travel vaccines depends on the destination country, the nature of your trip, and your health condition. Consult with a doctor to create a personal travel vaccination plan.
