This sustained activity allows you to develop in-depth expertise in clinical vaccinology and in the care of patients presenting with various underlying pathologies.

You are also called upon to respond promptly to vaccinological consultation requests for the entire adult patient population of the University Hospitals of Geneva, proposing adapted diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies, under the supervision of the medical hierarchy.

In collaboration with the medical team, you contribute to the coordination and regular updating of protocols and documents related to vaccinological care at the HUG.
