For people aged 65 and over (or under 65 years of age with certain risk factors according to the Swiss vaccination schedule), we can bill the vaccine through the mandatory health insurance if you have a prescription for the vaccination. Alternatively, you can send the receipt directly to your health insurance provider. 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.

Important: Health insurance will not cover the costs if you have already received a pneumococcal vaccination (which may have covered fewer strains) covered by health insurance after turning 65.
