Hello,
You have expressed an interest in a vaccination for COVID-19. Here, you will find all the key information about registration for the vaccination. Please read it carefully.
You must meet the following requirements in order to be vaccinated at the vaccination centre at the Congress Center Basel:
You are registered as living in Basel-Stadt. Only residents of Basel can be vaccinated at the vaccination centre in Basel.
As supplies of the vaccine are currently very limited, only the following target groups can be vaccinated:
Target group 1:
You are aged 75 years or older (born in 1946 or earlier)
Target group 2:
You are aged 18 to 75 years (born in 2003 or earlier) and have a chronic illness (underlying condition) with the highest risk level.
If you belong to this risk group, you must have confirmation from your GP or attending physician. Please do not send us any documents (medical records, discharge reports, etc.). These will be
deleted due to data privacy regulations.
If you are in one of these two target groups and meet the residency requirement, you can register here and join a waiting list. To register, you must have a mobile phone number. If you do not have a mobile phone, you can use someone else’s mobile phone (e.g. a family member, friend, carer or neighbour). Only those who do not have a mobile phone number should register by calling 0800 555 655.
How to register:
When you attend your first and second vaccination appointments, please bring the following full documents:
- Swiss health insurance card

- When you register at the vaccination centre, your temperature will be taken with an infrared thermometer.
