Disease-specific guidance

Yellow fever

None

No yellow fever risk in country. A vaccination certificate is required at entry only for travelers ≥1 year of age arriving from countries with yellow fever transmission risk (within 6 days of departure or transit through such countries).

General prevention

Food & water

Tap water quality varies. Outside major hotels, prefer bottled or treated water and avoid uncooked produce you haven't peeled yourself. Most cooked food in restaurants is safe.

Mosquito protection

Tick exposure is the more relevant arthropod risk. Use repellent and check for ticks after hiking or outdoor activities, especially in spring and summer in forested areas.

Sources

Based on CDC Travelers’ Health, CDC Yellow Book, and the Swiss Federal Vaccination Schedule (BAG). Always verify current recommendations before travel.
