The COVID-19 Vaccine
Please note:
The new Covid vaccine is not yet available. We will communicate it here as soon as it is available.
Who can be vaccinated?
Due to low virus circulation and high immunity in the Swiss population, additional Covid vaccinations are only recommended in Spring/Summer 2023 in certain cases; such as in severely immuncompromised individuals or those who, due to individual circumstances, have an increased health risk in the event of a Covid infection and for whom a Covid vaccination has been prescribed by their treating physician. Even in these cases, a vaccine will only be given if at least 6 month has passed months from the last vaccination/infection.
Coverage of costs
Covid vaccinations that are not recommended (e.g., for travel purposes due to entry requirements in other countries) may be administered, if medically justified, for a price of 60 CHF per vaccination (payable in person at the time of your visit with cash or credit card).
COVID Certificate
Please consult the Health Directorate website for the latest information regarding the COVID Certificate.
