A new covid vaccination drive starts next week in cantons Geneva, Vaud and Valais.
But not everyone is being urged to get boosted. It's only for those considered at-risk.
The government says the new campaign is only for those over-65 or with a chronic condition.
Others can get a booster if they’d like – but it will cost CHF 64, which won’t be covered by insurance.
The vaccines this season are different - they are especially targeted at the latest strain of covid.
