If you have a prescription for the hepatitis A or B vaccine, we can bill the mandatory health insurance for the single vaccine. For hepatitis A, you must additionally belong to a risk group (see Swiss vaccination schedule) in order for the costs to be covered. Alternatively, you can send the receipt to your health insurance company yourself. In both cases, the co-payment for the vaccination service is CHF 25. The costs for the vaccination service are also covered by some supplementary insurance policies.
In the case of travel-related and work-related indications, the costs are not covered by health insurance. In addition, the combination vaccine is also not reimbursed by health insurance.

VACCINATION AGAINST HEPATITIS A AND B.
Hepatitis A and B are viral liver infections that can seriously endanger your health. Hepatitis A is usually transmitted through contaminated food or water in countries with poor hygiene conditions, and the vaccine is only recommended for people with an increased risk of exposure or complications. Hepatitis B is usually transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, and the vaccine is recommended for everyone. You can be vaccinated against hepatitis A and B individually or with a combination vaccine. The number of injections required for long-term protection varies depending on the vaccine chosen.
- Hepatitis A single vaccination (Havrix): Two doses spaced at least six months apart.
- Hepatitis B single vaccination (Engerix) & Hepatitis A & B combination vaccination (Twinrix): Three doses over a period of six months.
