    Who needs vaccinations for immunodeficiency?

    People with weakened immune system — whether through congenital immunodeficiency, HIV, ongoing chemotherapy, or after organ transplantation — need particularly careful vaccination protection. Some live vaccines must be avoided in these patients, while other vaccinations should be given more frequently. We advise you individually together with your treating specialists and create your personal vaccination plan.

    What Should I Do Next?

    Would you like to find out whether vaccinations are possible despite your pre-existing conditions, or are in fact especially important? Simply book an appointment for a vaccination status review at one of our avi practices and discuss this with our medical team. The team will advise you in detail on whether you are sufficiently protected or whether you should receive a vaccination.

    VACCINATION PROCESS

    How the Vaccination Works

    We provide comprehensive information about the vaccination and are available for all your questions.

    1. 1

      Information Consultation

      We inform you about the vaccination, possible side effects, and answer all your questions.

    2. 2

      History & Vaccination Advice

      We review your vaccination status, pre-existing conditions, and allergies to ensure safe administration.

      Vaccination

      The vaccination is administered with minimal pain into the upper arm muscle.

    4. 4

      Observation Period

      You stay in the practice briefly for safety so we can react immediately to rare immediate reactions.

    PREPARATION & AFTERCARE

    Preparation & Aftercare

    Before the appointment

    • Bring your vaccination record

      So we can verify your vaccination status and document the new vaccination.

    • Clarify acute illnesses

      We postpone vaccination in case of fever or acute infections. Please let us know in advance.

    After the appointment

    • Take it easy

      Avoid intense physical exertion and sports for 1-2 days.

    • Normal reactions

      Local redness, swelling, or mild fever are normal and usually subside within 1-3 days.

    • Report severe symptoms

      For shortness of breath, circulatory problems, or persistent high fever, contact a doctor immediately.

    Side effects

    Redness, swelling, warmth, or mild pain at the injection site. Usually subside within 1-2 days.

    Fatigue, headache, mild muscle aches, or low-grade fever. Usually mild and short-lived.

    In very rare cases, allergic reactions to vaccine components may occur. This is why post-vaccination observation takes place in our practice.

    Severe immediate reactions are extremely rare. We are prepared in our practice and can react immediately.
