This year, the Charité’s Occupational Medicine Center will once again be offering vaccinations to protect employees against the next wave of seasonal influenza. We regret to inform you that we are unable to provide all those interested with a flu shot as capacities are rather limited. The Occupational Medicine Center recommends that you instead contact your primary care physician for a flu shot if you can. The costs for the vaccination will usually be covered by your statutory or private health insurance.

We have two different vaccines available for the upcoming flu season:

  • the standard tetravalent flu shot
  • the high-dose tetravalent flu shot for those over sixty years of age.

You can find all the information you will need for this year’s vaccination program and the vaccine itself on the Occupational Health Management website at Freie Universität Berlin.

Please note the following if you are planning on registering for a vaccination:

  • If you are over sixty years of age, you will need to send an email to bgm@fu-berlin.de for an appointment with the high-dose flu shot. We are offering separate appointments between 1:45 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on the dates stated below.
  • If you are pregnant, please consult your primary care physician if you would like to receive a flu shot, as the Charité’s Occupational Medicine Center will be unable to fulfill your request. We also recommend that members of risk groups get in touch with their primary care physician.
  • All other employees will have to make an appointment online if they would like to be vaccinated. We are unfortunately unable to arrange appointments over the phone. The University Sports Center has kindly allowed us to use its registration platform again this year. Appointments can be made via the online booking system as of 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 25, 2022.
