Health prevention

The DSE has implemented various health actions in collaboration with external organizations to promote health on the EPFL campus.

 

Health Bus

The canton’s Health Promotion Health Bus (Bus santé) offers screening for risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (checkup) and personalized health advice. A complete checkup lasts 30 minutes and costs CHF 40.–.

Blood donations

Blood donations, in collaboration with the Interregional Blood Establishment (CRS), Agepoly, Civil Protection and the DSE take place twice a year on the EPFL campus.

 

Seasonal flu vaccination

Free vaccination to prevent seasonal influenza for EPFL employees and doctoral assistants takes place every year on the Lausanne campus at the Health Point, as well as in the Geneva, Neuchâtel, Sion and Fribourg outposts. You will receive further information by email at the beginning of October.

Measles : Free vaccination on campus !

Measles, a highly contagious disease, has been a regular concern on our campus in recent years, causing significant disturbances to studies and social life. This virus, which is capable of spreading five to six times faster than seasonal flu, finds study areas an ideal breeding ground for its spread.

Shiatsu

The DSE offers all EPFL students and staff the opportunity to enjoy massages on campus during their working hours. Shiatsu is an energetic discipline for well-being and relaxation. Price: CHF 50.- for a 30-minute session Location: INR 041 Registration from September 14, 2023: by appointment only at +41 79 211 83 48 or via email.
