In an effort to boost the vaccination rates in Geneva, the centre at the University Hospital will be open throughout the weekend for the next 4 weeks at least.
A jab will be available without an appointment between 9am and 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

If successful, the weekend opening may be extended beyond the initial 4 weeks.
