Vaccinations can save lives and prevent damage. However, not every vaccination is suitable for every patient. We can help you determine which vaccinations are advisable for you.

How do vaccinations work?

Active vaccination:

Antigens are injected which stimulate the body to form antibodies. There are now three kinds of vaccines for active vaccination:

Live vaccine (weakened pathogen):
Smallpox, yellow fever, polio, measles, German measles, mumps, tuberculosis, typhoid fever

Inactivated vaccine (inactivated pathogen):
Influenza, whooping cough, cholera, typhoid fever, plague

Toxoid vaccine (the toxic part of the pathogen is inactivated, the rest remains active):
Diphteria, tetanus

Passive vaccination:

You are injected with antibodies against specific pathogens, i.e. your body itself does not form antibodies, it simply utilizes these foreign substances. The serums are either obtained from animals or humans.

When should a vaccination not be given?

During acute feverish or active chronic infections

Caution!

If you are prone to having seizures or have any other type of damage to your central nervous system, are allergic or have neurodermatitis, heart or circulatory problems, are undergoing psychological stress, intense physical stress, or radiation treatment, use medications affecting your immune system, suffer from a disease affecting your immune system, have previously had a violent reaction to a vaccination or are pregnant.

Vaccination damage

Hypersensitivity reactions
Damage caused by poorly tolerable or faulty vaccines
Complications due to an unusual reaction encountered by the vaccinee

We offer the following vaccinations as optional services:

Special preventive vaccinations for chronic vaginal inflammation (Gynatren vaccination)

Many women are plagued by vaginal infections. In addition to immediate therapy with creams and suppositories, it is now possible to do more to strengthen your body's own built-in immunity. If your body's own built-in immunity is weakened, infections can occur more and more frequently, maybe even leading to a chronic disease. By strengthening your body's immunity, the Gynatren vaccination could be a permanent cure for you. Three vaccinations are administered in 2-week intervals and another vaccination is administered again after six to twelve months. A hypervaccination is advisable every one to two years. Nearly 83% of all patients are free of symptoms through this preventive vaccination.

Special preventive vaccination for chronic infections of the urinary tract

This three-part vaccination strengthens your body's built-in immunity in such a way that roughly 80% of the patients are free of symptoms. A hypervaccination a year later is advisable.

Hepatitis B

These bacteria are transmitted via blood or sexual intercourse. They cause inflammation of the liver which, if not cured, leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Getting vaccinated in time can protect you.
