Dear people of Wörgl, 🌿🤧

The meadows around Wörgl are in full bloom – and that means the grass pollen season is now well and truly here. Watering eyes, a runny nose, poor sleep: many of you are feeling it clearly right now.

You’re not alone – and a few simple measures can help:

✅ Air your rooms briefly and thoroughly, ideally in the morning or evening when the pollen count is lower.

✅ Wash your hair in the evening so that no pollen ends up in your bed.

✅ A saline nasal rinse flushes the pollen out of your nasal passages.

✅ Antihistamines from the pharmacy can ease acute symptoms well.

If your symptoms are severe, your sleep is suffering or you go through the same thing every year – come and see us. We’ll advise you on acute treatment and on specific immunotherapy. You don’t just have to put up with it. 💚

Sun protection is more than a question of comfort. High UV radiation damages the skin permanently — and it adds up over the years. Children are especially sensitive: their skin is thinner and their protective barrier is not yet fully developed. 🧒

What really helps:
✅ Sunscreen SPF 30+ (SPF 50+ for children), applied in good time and reapplied regularly
✅ Seek shade between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. — especially in the mountains
✅ Don’t forget a hat and long clothing
✅ Drink plenty — heat and altitude increase fluid loss

If you’re out in the mountains: UV radiation increases by about 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude. What’s still fine in the valley can become a real strain at the summit. 🏔️

Stay protected and enjoy the summer! 💚

Dear patients,

Spring is here, temperatures are rising — and so are the ticks! 🌡️ Tyrol is a TBE risk area, which is why the tick vaccination (TBE vaccination) is equally important for adults and children.

💉 For children, the TBE vaccination is recommended from the age of 1. The primary immunisation consists of 3 doses: the second dose is given 1–3 months after the first, and the third 5–12 months after the second. The first booster is due after 3 years, then every 5 years.

💉 For adults, the schedule is the same: 3 doses — the second 1–3 months after the first, the third 5–12 months after the second. Boosters are then recommended every 5 years, or every 3 years from age 60. If you haven’t been vaccinated yet — now is the perfect time to start!

⚡ Need quick protection? There is also a rapid immunisation schedule with shorter intervals — after just 2 doses you can already be protected for the current tick season. Simply ask us about it, we’ll be happy to advise you!

✅ We have the TBE vaccine in stock! Simply book an appointment or drop by the practice. Please bring your vaccination record so we can check your vaccination status and advise you individually.

Stay protected and enjoy nature! 🏔️☀️

Dear patients, 💚

March was a wonderful month for our team — not just medically, but also personally! Alongside our daily practice routine, we treated ourselves to two special highlights as a team. 🎉

🎿❄️ We hit the slopes together on a beautiful sunny day — a perfect ski day with loads of fun, fresh mountain air, and the occasional pit stop at a cozy mountain hut. Naturally, we toasted with a cool drink afterwards! 🍹

🔍🕵️ And as if that wasn’t enough, we also tried our hand at detective work: at a murder mystery dinner, we puzzled, suspected, and of course enjoyed great food — an evening full of suspense and laughter!

Why are we sharing this? Because we’re convinced that a team that works well together and laughs together outside the practice can also take better care of you. 💪

It was wonderful — and thank you for being such a great team! 🔥😄
