Vaccination and certification

For travelers, vaccine recommendations are guided by a individual risk assessment, taking into account local disease epidemiology, travel duration, season, planned activities, likelihood of exposure and personal heath status. This is the process of pre-travel counselling.

For individuals who are not traveling, the same risk-based clinical approach is applied, with the focus shifted to age-appropriate routine vaccination, occupational or lifestyle exposure, underlying medical conditions, and community-level disease risks. In both settings, vaccination decisions are made through individualized assessment rather than standardized vaccine packages, ensuring that recommendations remain medically appropriate and evidence-based for each person.

To ensure a thorough evaluation, your visit will generally follow these steps:

1. Clarification of purpose and risk profile
   The visit begins by identifying the reason for vaccination, such as travel, routine adult immunization, occupational or lifestyle exposure, or regulatory requirements.
2. Medical and vaccination review
   Your vaccination history, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and immune status are reviewed to assess suitability and identify any precautions.
3. Individualized vaccine recommendation
   Our doctor will make a sound recommendation using evidence-based, risk–cost-benefit assessment.
4. Vaccination and documentation
   When appropriate, vaccines are administered during the visit, and relevant documentation or certification is provided with post-vaccination advice.

• Why do I need to see a doctor if I only need a single booster shot?
  As a university hospital, our policy is to ensure that every medical intervention ,including giving a shot, is preceded by a professional clinical assessment to ensure your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.
• Where can I find the vaccine cost and all related cost?
  You can see the price list of all vaccines in our clinic on this webpage: Available vaccines in our clinic and price list.

• Are there risks or side effects from vaccines?
  All vaccines have potential side effects, most of which are mild and temporary such as pain, fever. The doctor will discuss expected benefits and possible risks before vaccination.

• Will I receive vaccination record after getting a shot?
  Yes, we will issue you a new vaccination record, at no extra cost. Or if you have your own record, we will fill and update it for you.
