Recommended (booster) vaccinations for everyone

Certain standard vaccinations are strongly recommended worldwide and for Germany by the Vaccination Commission (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute (Berlin). These vaccinations are covered by statutory health insurance companies as a preventive service:

• Tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis (polio), pertussis (whooping cough)
• MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

Recommended for travelers to endemic areas in Europe

• Early summer meningoencephalitis TBE (“tick vaccination”)
• Hepatitis A = travel jaundice, recommended for various Mediterranean countries (and also for many long-distance travel destinations)

Further vaccinations for special travel destinations or for special risks can be found under the Travel Medicine menu item.
