Whether you’re preparing to travel abroad with the family, have concerns about visiting a faraway region or are planning a trip around the world, your travel preparations are crucial. That’s why our dedicated team delivers scientifically sound advice, vaccinations and information tailored to each country on your itinerary. So you can travel with peace of mind, knowing that you’re protected from malaria, Yellow fever and a host of other potential risks.
Pre-Travel Medical Consultation: What you need to know
Our dedicated travel medical specialists offer pre-travel medical consultations tailored to your individual travel plan. During our pre-travel medical consultation we will:
Assess your individual risk
Identify any health concerns
Provide advice to mitigate risk
Answer your questions
Administer vaccinations and medication (if necessary)
The most common vaccinations and medicines, especially for Africa, Asia, and South America, include malaria prophylaxis and Yellow fever vaccinations.
Please note: Consultations and prescriptions for persons not present can ONLY be carried out for children up to 12 years of age.
Preparing for your appointment
Note about group size:
The appointment time varies based on group size (the larger the group, the longer the appointment will be). If you book the wrong appointment type for your group (ie if you are a family of four and book an appointment for a single person) then we will have to reschedule your appointment. For group appointments, the total consultation time is divided among the group members.
When to book:
We recommend booking your consultation 6-8 weeks before your planned travel.
What to bring:
Your Swiss health insurance card,
travel details,
allergy and/or medication list
and all of your vaccination booklets.
New: Online Consultation
We now offer Online Consultations by video as an alternative to an in-person appointment. The content and quality are equivalent to a consultation at the clinic. The video connection is provided through our partner Arzt-direkt in a secure, GDPR-compliant online environment. More information on data protection is available here.
Requirements:
Laptop or computer with camera and functioning microphone
Basic proficiency in using a laptop or computer
The ability to either send your vaccination book in advice by email or to share it during the video session.
Important information:
A limited number of appointments are currently available.
At present, only individual consultations can be booked (groups and family consultations will follow).
Not suitable if your departure is the following day, as same-day vaccination appointments are generally not possible.
The price of the online consultation is the same as for an in-person consultation.
