Infectious diseases, vaccination

Meningococcal disease is a severe infectious disease that is transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets during coughing or sneezing. The risk of infection is increased by long-term and close contact with a sick person or a bacterial carrier. In cases of meningococcal infection, the person may become a carrier of the bacteria without experiencing any symptoms.

For primary immunisation, infants aged six weeks to under six months receive two doses with a two-month interval. Infants aged six months and older, children, adolescents and adults receive a single dose.

After the primary immunisation series, infants aged six weeks to under 12 months should receive a booster dose at 12 months of age, at least two months after the last vaccination.

All vaccinations done at Confido are recorded in your vaccination passport, which we ask you to take with you when you come to get vaccinated. If necessary, we will issue a new vaccination passport for an additional fee (€10).
