Vaccination at our clinic in Copenhagen

Flu is not just a cold - it can put you in bed for a week, and it also hits healthy adults in the middle of work and family life. If you are not offered it free through the public programme (for example because you are under 65 and healthy), you can be vaccinated here. The vaccine is updated every season. Read about flu vaccination for children.

NurseCare offers flu vaccination for people aged 50 and over. The nurse will advise you on which vaccine suits you. The vaccine is updated every season, and vaccination is repeated every year.

Vaccination against COVID-19. If you are not offered it free through the public programme, you can be vaccinated here. Can be given at the same visit as your flu vaccination.

RSV can cause serious pneumonia, especially in older adults. If you are pregnant, the vaccine is offered free in week 32 of pregnancy through the public programme (contact your midwife or your own doctor). Other adults from 18 can choose it here if they wish - particularly relevant with increasing age or if you have chronic heart or lung disease.

Vaccination against pneumococcal bacteria, which can cause pneumonia and blood poisoning. Recommended from 65 and for people at increased risk (for example treated diabetes, chronic heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, a weakened immune system or no spleen). Can be given at the same visit as your flu and COVID-19 vaccination. If you are at increased risk, you may be able to get a subsidy through your doctor - otherwise you can be vaccinated here with no referral and no waiting list.

Vaccination against hepatitis A, which spreads through food and water. Relevant for travel to Asia, Africa, South America and parts of southern Europe. The first dose can be given right up to the day you leave.

The same vaccination as for adults, with a children's dose. Relevant when the family is travelling to areas where hepatitis A is common.

Vaccination against hepatitis B, which spreads through blood and body fluids. Relevant for longer trips, work with a risk of blood contact and certain chronic conditions. If you are leaving soon, faster courses are available: from 18, the three doses can be given on day 0, 7 and 21, and for everyone from 16 the course can be accelerated to day 0, 1 month and 2 months. Both are completed with a fourth dose after one year.

The same vaccination as for adults, with a children's dose. If time before departure is short, the course can be accelerated to day 0, 1 month and 2 months, with a fourth dose after one year.

One vaccine against both types of hepatitis. Recommended for stays in high-risk areas and if you have chronic hepatitis C. If you are travelling in less than a month, the three doses can be given on day 0, 7 and 21, with a fourth dose after 12 months.

Choose this course when hepatitis B is relevant for the trip and there is at least a month until departure. The hepatitis B part is completed sooner than in the 2-dose course.

Choose this course when there is less than a month until departure.

Vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). Relevant if you spend time in vegetation in known tick areas - Bornholm and parts of North Zealand, as well as Sweden, the Baltic states, Poland, Germany and Austria. If time is short, the second dose can be given as early as two weeks after the first.

The same vaccination, which can be given as an adult dose from the age of 12. If you are leaving soon, there is an express course over three weeks.

A children's dose suitable for most children. Relevant if your child plays or spends time in vegetation in known tick areas. If time is short, the second dose can be given two weeks after the first.

A children's dose with a vaccine that switches to the adult dose from the age of 12. Also available as an express course over three weeks if departure is close.

Booster against tetanus and diphtheria if you have had the primary vaccination. Everyone who has had the primary vaccination should be revaccinated, and the vaccine is also used for wounds. Can be given from the age of 5.

Booster against polio, which spreads through contaminated food and water and from person to person. Statens Serum Institut (SSI) recommends a booster before travel to a number of countries, such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and several countries in Africa, if your last polio vaccination was more than a year ago. Some countries require proof when you leave.

Vaccination against meningococcal disease types A, C, W and Y - a serious infection of the brain and blood. Required for pilgrimage to Mecca, no later than 10 days before departure, and often for studying in the USA.

The same vaccination against types A, C, W and Y. Some American educational institutions specifically require this vaccine - check the requirements before you book.

Consider the vaccine before travelling to countries where rabies occurs - even for a short holiday. Statens Serum Institut recommends it especially where access to rabies treatment at your destination is limited. Also recommended if you have an occupational risk, for example vets and biologists in contact with bats. We follow Denmark's national two-dose course, which differs from the manufacturer's summary of product characteristics. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal on your trip, seek medical help locally straight away. Read more about rabies

Vaccination against Japanese encephalitis, which is spread by mosquitoes. Relevant for travel to rural areas of Southeast and East Asia, especially in the rainy season. The course must be completed at least one week before you may be exposed to infection.

Vaccination against chikungunya, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that can cause high fever and joint pain that may last a long time. May be relevant for travel to areas with outbreaks, such as parts of Asia, Africa, South America and islands in the Indian Ocean. Mosquito protection is still the most important measure.

Vaccination against dengue fever, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that is common in tropical and subtropical areas, such as Southeast Asia, South America and the Caribbean. Statens Serum Institut (SSI) generally recommends the vaccine only for travellers who have had dengue before - we assess this with you at your appointment. Mosquito protection during the day is still the most important measure.

Vaccination against typhoid, which spreads through contaminated food and water. Relevant for travel to South Asia, Africa and South America. Can be given from the age of 2.

An oral vaccine against cholera. Mainly recommended for aid workers going to disaster areas, and can be considered for longer stays in basic conditions. For ordinary tourists, the risk is very small. Avoid food and drink for one hour before and after.

Vaccination against yellow fever for children from the age of 2 and adults travelling to countries with a risk of yellow fever, or to countries that require an international vaccination certificate for entry.

The vaccination must be given at least 10 days before entry: the certificate is valid from 10 days after vaccination and for the rest of your life. Since 11 July 2016, no country can require you to be vaccinated again (WHO).

Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus reactivating later in life, and it can cause long-lasting nerve pain. Recommended from 50 if you have had chickenpox. You can also be vaccinated even if you have had shingles before. Can also be given from age 18 to people at increased risk.

Did you miss the HPV vaccine as a child? You can be vaccinated as an adult. You can be vaccinated here at your own expense after a clinical assessment. HPV is a virus that can cause cervical cancer, cancer of the vagina, vulva and anus, and genital warts. Given to all genders.
