Up to 5% of ticks in Switzerland carry the TBE virus, which can cause meningitis. That’s why the FOPH recommends the vaccine for everyone over the age of 6 who lives in a high-risk area.
Benefit now: As a Sanitas customer, you get a 28% discount on the tick vaccination at selected pharmacies. You will also receive tick spray and a tick card with magnifying glass as a gift (while stocks last).
Good to know: the discount applies to the vaccination service provided by the pharmacist and not to the vaccine. Pay the remaining amount of maximum CHF 65 directly on site. You can also request a prescription from your family doctor or group practice in advance so that the remaining amount, minus the deductible and copayment, can be settled via Sanitas.
