Important advice
Dear travellers, dear patients,
In order to prevent circulatory disorders during the hot summer months, we kindly ask you to observe the following points when receiving vaccinations and collecting blood samples:
- Please eat and drink sufficiently before blood sampling and vaccinations (do not come sober).
- You are also welcome to get water from us in the outpatient clinic.
- get up slowly after vaccinations/blood tests
- After vaccinations, it is recommended that you remain seated in the waiting area for 10-15 minutes.
- In case of vertigo, sweating or numbness, immediately take up a safe position such as sitting or lying down (if necessary, sit on the floor).
Thank you very much,
Your outpatient clinic team
