According to information from the Federal Office for National Economic Supply (BWL) in Switzerland, the use of rabies vaccines in the country must currently be severely restricted. The reason for this is a severe shortage, as supplies in the Alpine state are severely delayed due to a global vaccine shortage.
By means of a regulation that comes into force this Monday (February 26, 2024) and is intended to apply for 2 years, the compulsory storage release of human medicine vaccines will therefore be adjusted accordingly. Accordingly, rabies vaccines will only be given for vital indications, for example to people who are occupationally exposed, such as those working in veterinary medicine or animal care, as well as people who have been bitten by an animal. People who need a rabies vaccination because of a trip will not receive vaccines from the compulsory warehouses. However, travel medicine can still carry out these vaccinations with free goods.
