Switzerland is a safe country to visit. Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing or bag-snatching, is common in crowded places. Travellers should avoid carrying unnecessary valuables with them. Terrorists continue plotting attacks against Europe. There have been no recent attacks in Switzerland.

Visiting Rhine Falls

Rhine Falls is the largest plain waterfall in Europe. The falls are 150 metres wide and 20 metres high, with a massive amount of water flowing over the edge during the summer. Visitors can walk along the river or travel to the observation platform. They can then have an amazing meal at Laufen Castel or Schlössli Wörth. For those who want to experience the falls up close, boat tours are available along the Rhine.

What Should I Take to Switzerland?

Nestled in the Alps, it’s important you have everything you need for Switzerland.

• Umbrella – Switzerland can get a fair amount of rain. Bring an umbrella or rain jacket to keep yourself dry during a downpour.
• Jacket – If you’re visiting in the winter, temperatures can get very cold. Pack warm clothes to layer as part of your kit.

Contact information

The COVID-19 vaccination is recommended in autumn/winter for people at especially high risk. Pregnant women can obtain a vaccination following a consultation. There is no recommendation for any other persons to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination.

Who is advised to get vaccinated this autumn/winter?

What is the recommendation if you are pregnant, what recommendations apply for the rest of the population, information on the vaccination, frequently asked questions (faqs).

• Documents and links

Almost everyone in Switzerland has come into contact with the coronavirus by now, meaning that their immune system has already had to respond to the virus. The coronavirus variants currently circulating also tend to cause only mild cases of COVID-19 among persons without any risk factors. As a result of the greater contacts that people are likely to have in enclosed spaces, the coronavirus may well spread more again in the coming winter season. And this in turn may increase the likelihood of contracting COVID-19.

All people at especially high risk aged 16 or over are advised to get a COVID-19 vaccination this autumn/winter. People at especially high risk include:

• Persons aged 65 or over
• Persons aged 16 or over with certain forms of the following chronic conditions
• Persons aged 16 or over with trisomy 21

People at especially high risk have an increased risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19; and their immunity against contracting COVID-19 tends to decline faster, too. If you are such a person, getting the vaccination will improve your protection from developing severe COVID-19 and any associated complications for several months.

Categories of persons at high risk (PDF, 301 kB, 26.10.2023)

Top of page

If you are pregnant, you can obtain a COVID-19 vaccination this autumn/winter after individual consultation with your doctor. Such vaccination may be sensible in some cases, because it will provide protection from developing severe COVID-19 for several months. With the coronavirus variants currently in circulation, the risk of developing pregnancy complications or of giving birth prematurely as a result of a COVID-19 infection is lower than was the case with previous variants.

Information: COVID-19 vaccination and pregnancy (PDF, 211 kB, 13.11.2023)

For all other persons under the age of 65, there is no recommendation to get a COVID-19 vaccination this autumn/winter. For such persons, the vaccination will provide moderate short-term protection from contracting and developing mild COVID-19.

For the same reason, there is no COVID-19 vaccination recommendation this autumn/winter for healthcare professionals or caregivers. Such persons may opt to get themselves vaccinated, however, if they personally prefer to somewhat reduce their risk of contracting and developing mild COVID-19.

The ideal time to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination this autumn/winter is between mid-October and mid-December. The vaccination can be administered any time from 6 months since the last COVID-19 vaccination or from 6 months since a known coronavirus infection. Other vaccinations with inactivated vaccines (such as the flu vaccination) can also be administered before, at the same time as or after a COVID 19 vaccination.

We advise you to get vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine that has been modified in the light of the current coronavirus variants or with a similarly modified protein-based Novavax vaccine. Which vaccine(s) you have previously received is of no relevance here.

Please note: If you are pregnant or are breastfeeding, or if you have a severely weakened immune system, the mRNA vaccine is advised.

Side effects

Side effects are possible with any vaccination. They are usually mild to moderate and subside quickly.

Common side effects include reactions at the injection site such as pain, redness and/or swelling, headaches and fatigue. Muscle and joint pain and general symptoms such as chills, feeling feverish or a high temperature may also occur.

In very rare cases, severe side effects may be felt. A small number of people, for example, have experienced a severe allergic reaction directly after being vaccinated, with symptoms such as severe swelling, redness, itching or difficulty breathing. In very rare instances, an inflammation of the heart muscle or of the outer lining of the heart has been observed within 14 days of the vaccination. These cases have generally been mild and easily treatable. Typical symptoms of such inflammation of the heart muscle are chest pain, difficulty breathing and palpitations, which usually occur within 2 weeks of the vaccination.

Further side effects may also be felt, with symptoms of varying durations. If you experience any severe or unexpected condition following a COVID-19 vaccination, contact a doctor, a pharmacist or the place you received your vaccination.

Health problems can develop at any time. So if a health problem does arise immediately after a COVID-19 vaccination, this does not necessarily mean that the vaccination is the cause.

Any recommended COVID-19 vaccination is free of charge, and will be covered by the compulsory health insurance of:

• any persons at especially high risk;
• pregnant women, following an individual consultation with their doctor.

Further information will be found on the Protect yourself and others page.

Vaccinations

SSHE cares for a healthy and safe working environment at ETH and advises you in health protection issues.

The vaccination against seasonal flu, like other basic vaccinations and supplementary vaccinations within the framework of the Swiss Vaccination Plan, is part of individual personal health care; therefore, the Safety, Security, Health and Environment Department no longer offers flu vaccinations. For ETH members with professional contact to patients or probands, for employees of day-care centers as well as for researchers with professional contact to domestic poultry or wild birds, the flu vaccination is recommended for professional reasons. The vaccination is carried out decentrally at the family doctor's office or at a vaccination pharmacy; the costs are borne by the responsible organizational unit.

The vaccination is important for students : In the event of a measles outbreak, the cantonal medical officer can impose a ban on entering the university of up to 3 weeks for all those not immune to the disease who have had contact with a potentially infected person. This can also happen in the middle of a semester or during the exam period.

The measles virus is five to six times more contagious than seasonal flu. Contrary to popular belief, measles is not harmless for adults. Measles can cause serious complications in adults, such as pneumonia or meningitis. The general conditions at colleges and universities, with large gatherings of people in a confined space, favour virus transmission: an infected person who has not yet developed symptoms can expose everyone gathered in an auditorium to the virus.

The measles vaccination (two doses at least one month apart) is recommended for everyone who has never been infected with the disease. On the one hand, vaccination serves to protect you personally, and on the other hand, it prevents transmission to persons who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons (infants, pregnant women and persons with a weakened immune system).

It is worth checking whether you are at risk of infection. A blood test can determine whether you are immune. By assessing your own risk or by the vaccination you contribute to your own health and at the same time protect others, especially those who can’t receive the vaccination for the reasons listed above.

You can find information on the facts at external page the Federal Office of Public Health FOPH call_made or at external page the Canton of Zurich, Directorate of Health. call_made

The measles vaccination is important for students : In the event of a measles outbreak, the cantonal physician can impose an exclusion of up to 3 weeks from the institution for all persons not immune to measles who have had contact with a potentially infectious person - even in the middle of the semester or during the examination period.

Members of ETH Zurich are sometimes exposed to particular risks of infection or contagion in the course of their research work, during field trials or on excursions, which can be reduced by a Download vaccination (PDF, 133 KB) vertical_align_bottom . ETH Zurich bears the costs for the vaccination of its employees who require a special vaccination due to their professional activity at ETH Zurich. The units concerned (chairs, institutes and other organisational units) pay for these costs. Students usually pay for the costs of vaccinations themselves. For advice regarding vaccinations and receiving vaccinations, you can either contact the external page Travel Clinic of the University of Zurich call_made or external page the Centre for Occupational Medicine, Ergonomics and Hygiene (AEH call_made ). One of the special vaccinations for which information is most frequently sought is the vaccination against tick-borne disease: information on tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and the vaccination itself can be obtained from the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) external page «Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)» call_made .
