Vaccinations

BKK W&F covers the costs for all protective vaccinations recommended by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) directly via the health card.

These include, for example, vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), polio, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella and rotavirus. We also recommend vaccination against viral flu (influenza) and pneumonia, especially for people over 60.
