How much does a vaccination cost?

The cost varies depending on the vaccine. The price includes the cost of the required vaccine, the medical consultation and vaccination, supplies, issuance of the International Vaccination Certificate or vaccination record, and all taxes and other cost components. We do not differentiate between those with private health insurance and those with public health insurance; our prices are the same for everyone.

You can obtain the exact prices upon request by phone or email.

How do I pay?
Some time after your vaccination, you will receive a billing statement from the City of Salzgitter by mail. Please make the payment via bank transfer to one of the City of Salzgitter’s bank accounts.

Will my health insurance reimburse me for the costs?
Due to the 2007 healthcare reform, some statutory health insurance providers now also reimburse travel vaccinations for trips abroad, provided that the so-called STIKO vaccination guidelines were followed. We can issue a certificate confirming this upon request. Please check with your health insurance provider regarding coverage. Unfortunately, due to the large number of health insurance providers and their varying bylaws and contract terms, we are unable to provide a general or even individualized answer. Information is also available online; you’ll find a link to an overview page below.

Please bring all your existing vaccination records, vaccination cards, and vaccination certificates with you so that we can provide you with the best possible vaccination counseling and avoid unnecessarily early booster shots.

We advise all travelers to clarify the legal situation in the country to be visited individually before the start of the trip and to obtain any special permits required for carrying narcotics from the relevant supervisory authority in the country of destination. Information on this can be obtained from the respective diplomatic representation of the destination country in Germany. You can find their addresses on the homepage of the Federal Foreign Office (see below).

When traveling to other countries (i.e. outside the Schengen Agreement), we advise you to carry a special medical certificate (sample form below) in English. On the form, your doctor will fill in the details for A) to D).
In addition, he must always stamp his practice stamp to the right of section B and also sign it personally with the current date.
The official certification for E) is only carried out afterwards and only if the form has been completed in full by our public health department.
From experience, we recommend that in these cases you also carry a certificate in accordance with the Schengen Agreement with you on your trip. This is advisable when re-entering/returning to Germany (member state of the Schengen Agreement).
