Applications and authorisations in the field of infectious diseases
Doctors and medical centres intending to administer yellow fever vaccinations need official authorisation from the FOPH. Here you’ll find everything you need to know to obtain a licence. You’ll also find information on how to apply for compensation in the event of a vaccine injury. The revised Epidemics Act that entered into force at the beginning of 2016 provides for financial compensation if certain requirements are met.
Permit for transporting dead bodies
A permit must be obtained for the transport of dead bodies through Switzerland, from another country to Switzerland and from Switzerland to another country. The cantonal authorities are responsible for issuing these permits.
