Vaccination against Mpox
In accordance with the recommendation of the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health), we only offer vaccinations against Mpox to people who have a high risk of becoming infected with Mpox. This includes:
- cis men with multiple male sexual partners
- trans individuals with multiple male sexual partners
Book an appointment
To avoid waiting times, please book an appointment. Emergencies after an HIV risk situation are possible as a walk-in at any time.
Reschedule or cancel an appointment
Appointments can be cancelled or changed 24 hours in advance free of charge.
Request a callback
You can also request a callback from us outside our opening hours here.
HIV risk situation?
If you had an HIV risk situation, don’t waste time. The earlier you start, the better the chance that PEP can prevent HIV infection. The chances of success of PEP decrease as early as 6 hours after exposure to HIV. After 48 hours, the PEP no longer shows any effect. Come over.
