University Outpatient Clinic for Tropical Medicine, Infectiology and Travel Medicine

Travel and vaccination consultation (BEFORE your trip)

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).
