Paid and state-funded vaccination
Paid vaccination
Children and adults can book paid vaccination in line with the conditions of use of each vaccine. The price list shows the price of one vaccine dose including its administration.
Depending on the vaccine, the patient’s age and doses received previously, a full vaccination course may require one or more doses. The individual vaccination schedule is set by a medical professional.
State-funded vaccination
Some vaccines can be received free of charge from the state, if the patient meets the current state funding conditions.
State-funded vaccination may be available:
- for children according to the Latvian childhood vaccination calendar;
- for children and young people for HPV vaccination, according to the state programme conditions;
- for certain patient groups for seasonal flu vaccination;
- for patients with specific medical indications;
- in other cases defined by the state.
If the vaccine is state-funded, the fee for administering it at Republikas laukuma klīnika is 15 €.
A doctor assesses whether the patient is eligible for state-funded vaccination. Before booking, we recommend checking whether the vaccine is available, whether a referral is needed and which documents to bring.

Flu vaccination
Depending on the season and availability, Republikas laukuma klīnika offers vaccination with Influvac, Vaxigrip, Flucelvax or Efluelda.
The flu vaccine composition is updated for each flu season, so vaccination is usually repeated every year. The most suitable vaccine is chosen based on the patient’s age, health and the conditions of use of the vaccine.
For certain risk groups the flu vaccine may be state-funded. A medical professional assesses eligibility for state funding.
Tick-borne encephalitis vaccination
Vaccination helps protect against tick-borne encephalitis, but it does not protect against Lyme disease or other tick-borne infections.
The clinic offers the TICOVAC vaccine:
- for adults – €45 per dose;
- for children – €40 per dose.
The primary vaccination course includes several doses. Booster doses may later be needed to maintain protection. The exact schedule depends on the patient’s age, doses received previously and the vaccine’s instructions for use.
HPV vaccination
The human papillomavirus vaccine helps protect against certain HPV types linked to cervical and other cancers, as well as genital warts.
For children and young people of eligible age, vaccination with Gardasil may be state-funded under the current state programme conditions.
Vaccination can also be considered at other ages. In that case, its suitability, the number of doses and payment are assessed individually.
Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough vaccination
The ADACEL vaccine is intended for booster vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. The need for vaccination is assessed taking into account the patient’s age, previous doses, health and possible risk factors.
The price of vaccination with ADACEL is 50 €.
If protection against polio is also needed, the doctor may assess whether the DULTAVAX vaccine is suitable.
Hepatitis A and B vaccination
The clinic offers vaccines against:
- hepatitis A – HAVRIX or AVAXIM;
- hepatitis B – ENGERIX;
- hepatitis A and B combined – TWINRIX.
These vaccines may be relevant before travelling, for certain professions, for people at higher risk of infection or for patients with other medical indications.
A full course may require several doses. The vaccination schedule is set individually.
Travel vaccination
Before travelling, you may need vaccines that are not part of the routine vaccination calendar. The choice of vaccines depends on:
- your destination;
- the length of the trip;
- planned activities;
- living conditions during your stay;
- your age and health;
- vaccines you have received previously.
The clinic offers vaccines against hepatitis A and B, yellow fever, typhoid fever, cholera and rabies.
It is best to start planning travel vaccination early, as some vaccines require several doses or a certain amount of time before protection develops.
Vaccination for children
Children are vaccinated according to their age, health, vaccines received previously and the Latvian childhood vaccination calendar.
If a dose was not received on time, the vaccination course does not always need to start again. A paediatrician or family doctor will review the doses already received and prepare a plan for further vaccination.
Please bring to the appointment:
- your child’s vaccination record;
- information about vaccines received previously;
- information about known allergies;
- a list of medications the child takes;
- other relevant medical documents.
Family doctor and paediatrician consultation before vaccination
If you are not sure which vaccine is needed, when the next dose is due or how to continue an unfinished vaccination course, you can book a family doctor or paediatrician consultation.
Family doctor consultation for adults
At Republikas laukuma klīnika, adults are seen by family doctor Dr. Ruslans Mihailovskis. A family doctor consultation can be helpful if you need to:
- check your vaccination history;
- create an individual vaccination plan;
- assess vaccination in the case of a chronic illness;
- find out whether you are eligible for state-funded vaccination;
- assess which booster vaccines are needed;
- prepare for vaccination before travelling;
- discuss vaccination when planning a pregnancy or during pregnancy;
- assess possible contraindications or previous reactions.

Paediatrician consultation for children
Children from birth to 18 years are seen by paediatrician and neonatologist Dr. Jeļena Liepa. A paediatrician consultation may be needed if:
- the child’s vaccination status needs to be assessed;
- a vaccine dose was not received on time;
- a plan for further vaccination needs to be made;
- the child has a chronic illness, an allergy or has had a strong reaction before;
- parents have questions about the state vaccination calendar;
- you need to find out whether a state-funded vaccine is available;
- HPV vaccination is needed;
- the child’s health needs to be assessed before vaccination.
If vaccination has been missed, in many cases the course does not need to start again. The paediatrician will review the doses already received and prepare a suitable plan for further vaccination.
How to prepare for vaccination
Special preparation is usually not needed. Before your visit, we recommend that you:
- eat and drink enough fluids;
- bring an identity document;
- bring your vaccination record or information about previous doses;
- prepare a list of medications you take;
- tell us about any known allergies;
- tell us about previous reactions after vaccination;
- tell us if you are or may be pregnant;
- tell us about any acute or chronic illnesses.
If the patient has a fever or an acute illness, vaccination should be agreed with a doctor. Mild respiratory symptoms without a fever are not always a reason to postpone vaccination, but the decision is made by a medical professional.
How is vaccination carried out?
Before giving the vaccine, the medical professional:
- asks about the patient’s health;
- checks the vaccination history;
- assesses possible contraindications;
- determines the most suitable vaccination schedule;
- explains possible reactions;
- answers questions from the patient or the child’s parents.
After vaccination, you may be advised to stay at the clinic for a short time for observation. The vaccination is documented in line with current procedures.
Possible reactions after vaccination
Short-term reactions are possible after vaccination:
- pain, redness or swelling at the injection site;
- tiredness;
- headache;
- muscle pain;
- a slight rise in body temperature.
Reactions may vary depending on the vaccine. Severe allergic reactions are rare, but vaccination is carried out at a medical facility where medical help can be given if needed.
If you develop pronounced or rapidly worsening symptoms after vaccination, seek medical help.
