Travel Preparation (Vaccinations & Consulation)
Are you planning a trip, need travel and vaccination advice and would like to be vaccinated if necessary? Our medical team with its expertise in tropical medicine, infectiology and travel medicine will be happy to assist you. Arrange your individual or group appointment via our online booking system. Your appointment includes a consultation and, if required, a vaccination.
We offer specific vaccination and consultation services, for example for yellow fever, rabies (subject to availability), typhoid, hepatitis A/B vaccination or dengue fever. Kindly note that these services are subject to a charge. All vaccinations offered (subject to availability) can be found in our price list (available in German only).
All bookable appointments are displayed in the booking system. Available appointments are updated in real-time. When you book the "Reisesprechstunde Erstberatung/Initial Travel Consulation", it may also serve as your first vaccination appointment.
The consultation takes place on-site. Kindly understand that we do not offer online or telephone consultation. Please note that our secretariat is only available until 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons during the travel and vaccination consultation hours.
Here you will also find brief information for travelers (e.g. first-aid kit).
