COVID-19-Vaccination
Since 15 November 2021, Medbase Bern main station offers also the «Booster» according to cantonal requirements. Basic immunisation will continue to be offered unchanged. We vaccinate exclusively with the Moderna vaccine (Spikevax). A combination of this vaccine with other vaccines is not recommended by the BAG, but is possible on request. Since 26 November 2021, the BAG and the EKIF continue to recommend basic immunisation and/or booster with mRNA vaccines for persons under 30 years of age, but preferentially with Comirnaty (Pfizer/ Biontech). The reason for this is the rare and benign heart muscle infections (Myocarditis) that occurred after vaccination, which were slightly more frequent after Spikevax than after Comirnaty. Comirnaty is currently only available in vaccination centres. However, Spikevax can still be administered on request, as before.

Laboratory
X-rays
Ultrasound allows us to predominantly examine soft tissue structures in the body. That is why our ultrasound scanner is used to help clarify so many questions.
Medbase Bern main station, in collaboration with the Hirslanden Institute of Radiology, is a location qualified by the canton to carry out mammography screening. The examination is carried out with modern equipment in a discreet atmosphere. Mammography is a special form of X-ray examination. It is considered the best method for the early detection of breast cancer (mammary carcinoma). Very small tumours can be detected at an early stage, even before they can be felt as lumps or hardening. Especially small calcifications (micro calcifications) - possible pre-stages of breast cancer - are well visible in the X-ray image as white spots. They are a sign of remodelling processes in the tissue. All women between 50 and 74 years of age who live in the Canton of Bern receive a letter of invitation every two years with a proposed date for a mammography. The invitations are distributed over two years.
You can find more information on the subject and on registration on the website of the Hirslanden Institute of Radiology.
