Influenza vaccination:
The influenza vaccination is available at the surgery, the co-payment is €7 (except for persons exempt from prescription fees).
You don’t need an appointment, just drop by!
Corona vaccination:
We regularly vaccinate against Covid 19 free of charge.
Due to the distribution of Vilas in several doses, an appointment is necessary.
Current vaccination recommendation according to the Austrian vaccination plan 2023/2024
Basic immunization:
It can be assumed that children and adults over the age of 5 are more than 95% likely to have already had contact with the virus through vaccination and/or infection and therefore no longer need basic immunization and are therefore basic immunized in the immunological sense.
Therefore, only a single vaccination is recommended, preferably in the fall!
Booster vaccinations
For healthy people, a minimum interval of at least 6, ideally 12 months is recommended after a previous illness or vaccination.
Certain people at risk (people aged 60 and over, immunocompromised people) can also be vaccinated earlier (after 4 months). However, these people should also be vaccinated at least 4 months after previous exposure.
WHO 1948 definition of health: “Health is a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being and not merely freedom from disease and infirmity. To enjoy the best possible state of health is a fundamental right of every human being, without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social position.”

Tasks of the general practitioner — why a family doctor?
The foundation of our health care system is the general practitioner or family doctor. He is the first contact and trusted doctor with whom you can discuss all health problems on the one hand and personal matters on the other.
