evidence: - The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Commission for Vaccinations (FCV) recommend that vulnerable people get vaccinated against Covid-19 this autumn/winter. This includes people over 65, those aged 16 and over with a pre-existing illness or Down syndrome, and pregnant women with a pre-existing illness. The coronavirus continues to circulate and can cause a severe form of Covid-19 in vulnerable people, they said on September 11. No official vaccination recommendations are made for other groups of people. In the absence of risk factors, the probability of developing a serious form of the disease is low, FOPH says. However, vaccination is still possible against payment. [...] - Switzerland will no longer issue or verify Covid-19 certificates from September 2023, the government said on August 16.
