Vaccines and safety in Sweden

Vaccines and local diseases

No vaccine is required for visitors. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) certifies your rights to health insurance in Europe. During a temporary stay in a Member State of the European Union, it allows you to benefit from the medically necessary care. It is recommended that you take out additional insurance.

Security in Sweden

Although Sweden remains one of the safest countries in Europe, there has been an increase in violence related to drug trafficking and organised crime. It is recommended to be vigilant and avoid travelling at night to certain outlying areas of major cities. Also, read the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you leave.

Health and repatriation insurance in Sweden

Why take international health insurance when travelling or living in Sweden? Simply because health spending quickly reaches very high amounts abroad. In addition, the repatriation guarantee is an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident it is sometimes necessary to carry out a medicalized repatriation to the nearest medical centre or to the country of residence. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident, and depending on the medical prognosis, it may be necessary to charter a helicopter or a medicalized aircraft.
