University Outpatient Clinic for Tropical Medicine, Infectiology and Travel Medicine

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 to refrain from inquiries (by telephone, e-mail).

Travel and vaccination consultation (BEFORE the trip)

Are you planning a trip, need travel and vaccination advice and would like to be vaccinated if necessary? Our medical team with its expertise in tropical medicine, infectiology and travel medicine will be happy to assist you. Arrange your individual or group appointment via our online booking system. This is a consultation and, if necessary, also a vaccination appointment. We offer specific vaccination and consultation services, for example for yellow fever, rabies (if available), typhoid, hepatitis A/B vaccination or dengue fever. All vaccinations offered (if available) can be found in our price list.

Please note that all available dates are displayed in the booking system. Appointments that become free are immediately visible again. If you book the "Initial travel consultation" appointment, this may also be your first vaccination appointment. The times for travel and vaccination consultations differ from the outpatient clinic times.

Here you will also find brief information for travelers (e.g. first-aid kit).

Here you will find all bookable dates. Please choose between the appointment options:

Travel medicine (BEFORE the trip): Initial consultation (and vaccination at the same time if necessary) or follow-up vaccination
Travel medicine for groups/families (BEFORE the trip): Initial consultation (and vaccination if necessary) or follow-up vaccination

With your booking, you confirm that you have read our instructions (e.g. required documents, costs, etc.) before your appointment at the outpatient clinic. These can be found under"Checklist for travel and vaccination consultations".
