For people aged 65 and over (or aged 18 and over 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.

PROTECTION AGAINST HERPES ZOSTER
Shingles (HZV) manifests as a painful rash that can lead to long-lasting nerve pain. It occurs more frequently in older people and those with weakened immune systems. The Federal Office of Public Health therefore recommends vaccination for everyone aged 65 and over, as well as people aged 18 and over with certain risk factors. Long-term protection can be achieved with two doses of the Shingrix vaccine. As we do not always have the vaccine in stock, we kindly ask you to make an appointment.
Cost per dose: 191.20 CHF
Duration: 15 minutes
- Appointment Cancellation Policy
Booked vaccination appointments are generally binding, and the agreed time slot is reserved for you. If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so that we can rebook the slot. If you cancel your appointment at short notice, we reserve the right to charge a fee of CHF 50. If you fail to cancel your appointment, we will charge you for the cost of the vaccine, as it has been prepared specifically for you and must be disposed of if you do not attend. The latter also applies if you cancel your appointment more than 24 hours in advance, as we order the vaccine specifically for you and cannot reuse it.
