Questions and answers

How do I register for vaccinations and book an appointment?

  • For vaccinations, please use the central booking system on the websites registration.mzcr.cz and crs.uzis.cz or via the telephone line 1221.

Will you vaccinate people without prior registration?

  • We will vaccinate those who have not registered and booked a date in advance as substitutes in limited numbers, i.e. if the booked candidates do not show up. We kindly ask non-registered candidates to follow the instructions of the staff.


Before you come to us

  • Please have your ID card, insurance card and a list of medications you have been taking for a long time ready. At the same time, show the confirmation sms or email from the booking system at the entrance. It is also advisable to bring a medical record from your GP.
  • If you do not have your own email address, please have a loved one's email address ready.
  • Wear clothing that is easy to unbutton or remove - unbuttoned tops and short-sleeved shirts.


What to expect on site

  • Initial interview with the doctor (standard examination, thorough history taking, allergies, possible collapse conditions, answering any questions).
  • Vaccination in the arm, then interview with the doctor again before discharge to the waiting room.
  • The vaccine will be injected intramuscularly into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.
  • After vaccination, you will need to wait in the waiting room for 20 minutes in case of a reaction to the vaccine.
  • Possible side effects are detailed in the informed consent.

Recommendations
