Note from the CERN Medical Service - FLU VACCINATIONs

People working on the CERN site who wish to be vaccinated may go to the Infirmary (ground-floor, Bldg. 57) with their vaccine without a prior appointment.

Claims for reimbursement should be sent directly to UNIQA, accompanied by the receipt for the vaccine and the prescription you will receive from the Medical Service on the day of your injection at the Infirmary.

Ideally, the vaccination should take place before the end of November 2008 (preferably between 14:00 and 16:00).

Influenza vaccinations are recommended for all CERN staff aged 50 or over. Vaccination is particularly important for those suffering from chronic lung, cardio-vascular or kidney problems or diabetics and for those recovering from serious medical problems or major surgery.

The Medical Service will not administer vaccines to family members or retired staff members, who must contact their normal family doctor.
