The influenza season is approaching and with it comes the consideration of getting a flu vaccination to protect yourself and others.  The CERN infirmary will vaccinate any person working on the CERN site (MPE, MPA, temporary workers and contractors) provided the person brings their own vaccine and that the relevant medical questionnaire at the infirmary confirms there are no contraindications to vaccination. Both conditions have to be met for the vaccination to be administered. A medical prescription will be given to the patient after the vaccination to allow the reimbursement of the vaccine by the person’s health insurance provider.

CERN retirees and family members can obtain the flu vaccination in France or Switzerland from their general practitioner or chemist’s: the vaccination is also be reimbursed by the CHIS according to its own rules.

The infirmary is open for vaccination Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.
