Vaccination

COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, characterised by acute severe respiratory syndrome. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or exhales. It can also be contracted by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the mouth, eyes or nose with contaminated hands. In most cases, the disease presents with mild cold-like symptoms, but it can also cause respiratory difficulties and pneumonia. The disease is most severe in elderly individuals with underlying chronic conditions.

Vaccination against COVID-19 during the autumn-winter season of 2024/2025 is recommended for the following risk groups, provided that at least six months have passed since their last vaccination/infection, or if they have not yet been vaccinated and/or infected:

• people aged 60 and older
• children and adults in risk groups
• pregnant women

You can check if you belong to a risk group in the Health Portal, where a COVID-19 vaccination recommendation will be added if applicable (except for pregnant women).

Vaccination is not necessary for children and adults aged 18-59 who are not in a risk group. People outside the target groups will only be vaccinated if a healthcare professional determines that it is justified based on the patient’s health risks.

To receive an assessment from a healthcare professional, please book an appointment with a nurse.

PLEASE NOTE! If the nurse determines that vaccination is not indicated, the fee for the nurse’s consultation will not be refunded.

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).
