Tropical Institute at the LMU Hospital Munich

Message from the university outpatient clinic (last updated on 25.09.2024):

The rabies vaccine is currently available again.

The influenza vaccine 24/25 is now available.

Vaccination for travelers to Mpox outbreak areas is currently not recommended (for more information see RKI website). The Munich Tropical Institute therefore does not currently offer the vaccination.

In the event of any changes, we will inform you immediately on this website. We ask for your understanding that you refrain from making inquiries (by telephone or e-mail).

We are looking for participants: Hepatitis B vaccination study

The University Outpatient Clinic for Tropical Medicine, Infectiology and Travel Medicine at the LMU Klinikum is the only university facility of its kind in Bavaria. The Tropical Institute, which has around 110 employees, also focuses on studies at the clinical study center, laboratory diagnostics in tropical medicine and parasitology, international teaching, further education and research in the field of infection and tropical medicine.

Surveillance of novel diseases ("emerging infections") with a high potential to spread is also of great importance. For example, the first COVID-19 case in Germany was diagnosed in the outpatient clinic of the Tropical Institute.
