The above is the planned vaccination calendar. There may be changes in the calendar in every specific case. In the event of illnesses, vaccination may have to be done later than planned. All these specific cases will be decided by doctors.
In addition to the approved vaccination plan, vaccinations against many other diseases are also available. Some of these are free for patients if this is financed in the framework of some prevention project.
Children are also vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis and the flu. In general, these vaccinations are offered for a charge. Request to parents! Please keep all vaccination data (either vaccination passport or extracts received from the medical institution) as extremely important documents. Vaccination data are important for doctors if the patient falls ill with an infectious disease and also in the event of trauma. Vaccination data are also required when people change their place of residence, school or continue in further education. Problems often occur when people go to live abroad. A lack of vaccination data may cause problems or delays in obtaining visas. |
