Seasonal vaccines for infection / Flu shot
Vaccines against flu and pneumonic diseases are recommended for everyone over the age of 65, as well as other vulnerable groups. These might be patients with diabetes, chronic heart, and lung diseases, weakened immune systems, obesity, neurological conditions, and other chronic diseases. Pregnant women are also recommended a flu shot after week 12. The vaccine is included in our fixed rate and should be taken yearly.
If you do contract the flu, you can try an antiviral treatment to shorten your sick leave and ease the symptoms. The pneumococcal vaccine should be taken every ten years.
Travel vaccines
If you are planning on travelling abroad we recommend you follow the advice set for your travel destination. Generally speaking, you will need vaccination for all countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Pacific Islands, and Eastern Europe. You should start your vaccination program sometime before departure to be fully protected. Dr.Dropin can help you establish what vaccines are necessary, and inoculate you. We also prescribe preventives for Malaria.
If you have children under the age of two, you should check with your local health station to push planned vaccines ahead. MMR vaccines are recommended for everyone. Hepatitis A and tetanus vaccines are recommended for most destinations. We only charge for the cost of the vaccine.
Vaccine against meningitis
We vaccinate against contagious meningitis. The vaccine is recommended for those between the ages of 16-19.
