Vaccinations for employees
We help with everything needed to travel safely and stay fit and healthy.If you travel abroad for work or are exposed to specific health risks during your job, vaccinations may be necessary. We advise on the most appropriate vaccinations based on your destination, length of stay, work activities and personal health.
Travel vaccinations
Employees travelling abroad for work may be exposed to infectious diseases that are rare or do not occur in the Netherlands. The vaccinations required or recommended vary depending on the country and individual circumstances.
During your consultation, we consider your destination, travel itinerary, length of stay, work activities, medical history and previous vaccinations. Based on this information, we provide personalised travel health advice and discuss the vaccinations and protection appropriate for your journey.
Occupational vaccinations
Certain professions and work activities involve specific risks of exposure to infectious diseases, even when employees are not travelling abroad. In these situations, occupational vaccinations may be necessary or recommended.
We assess the appropriate protection based on the employee’s role, working conditions and potential exposure to infectious diseases.
