Reminder concerning vaccinations prior to departure on duty travel

For many years the Medical Service has administered vaccination to any member of the personnel going on duty travel to countries with an endemic risk of disease. An appointment must be made with the medical secretariat (73186) a minimum of one month before departure. The doctors will write you a prescription for the vaccines and medicines at the time of the appointment. The vaccines and medicines will be reimbursed by your health insurance and the remaining balance by the relevant CERN Department. During the appointment you will be provided with documentation on the risks and the preventive measures to be taken.

This service is offered to you but is not compulsory and you remain entirely free to choose your doctor.

Please do not forget to bring your vaccination card to the appointment.
