Free vaccinations for children
All staff members of the Public Health Services of the City of Vienna have joined forces to implement the measures taken to combat the coronavirus. Therefore there are currently no vaccinations at the district health offices! Until further notice, you can only get TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) vaccinations, all vaccinations included in the children’s vaccination programme, a check of your vaccination records, and other recommended chargeable vaccinations at the vaccination service (Impfservice Town Town) or from your family doctor upon prior appointment!

The immunisation plan of the Federal Ministry of Health was established in 1998 and guarantees free vaccinations for children and young adults up to the age of 15 years. The immunisation plan is jointly financed by the Federal Ministry of Health, the provinces and the social insurance agencies.
