Off label in Switzerland?

4 replies

I’m going to Switzerland early next year, and I wondered whether it would be possible to have my child vaccinated off label while there. Does anyone know whether this is possible? I’ve looked at some websites but I don’t speak French or German.

Which particular vaccine are you hoping to gain access to?

Do you know why the vaccine in question isn't available to you in the UK?

What do you mean by "off label"? Why can't you get the vaccine in UK? I assume you're referring to covid vaccine?

People do go abroad for medical treatments, IVF etc. Vaccine tourism does happen -seems a bit woolly as to whether it’s legal/allowed. I’d get official guidance and I’m uncomfortable with your wording of ‘off label’ particularly as this involved a child.
There might be some info here but you need to register : https://www.thelocal.ch/20210201/can-foreigners-get-vaccinated-for-covid-19-in-switzerland

Which vaccine are you wanting for your child? If it’s safe for them you can normally access at a doctor or pharmacy depending on the vaccine.

Which canton are you visiting? As for COVID the cantons manage their supply and access differently.
I live in Switzerland so might be able to send you the links you need.
