Our mission is: “Travel healthy and return healthy” 

We are a preventive health organization and through providing information, advice, medical examinations, and vaccinations, we want to achieve our mission. We provide medical examinations for everyone going abroad or returning and we advise on and screen for infectious diseases. We have established several strong relationships with schools, universities, institutions, and companies.

At vaccinatiecentrum.nl we stand for quality, flexibility, creativity and innovation with the wishes and needs of the customer as our main priority. We believe it is important to be approachable as a company and we value personal contact.

Travelling is exciting, challenging and tantalising. At least if you stay healthy. This can be achieved by preparing well for the trip and protecting yourself against viruses and bacteria with vaccinations. Besides vaccinations, providing additional information that matches the traveller’s plans is also important to us. Giving travellers the right information on preventive measures can prevent many cases of illness. This is an essential part of making travelling even safer. At vaccinatiecentrum.nl, we take the time to make sure the customer goes on their trip with all the information they need to travel healthy and return healthy.
