Vaccination Clinic
Milano
Via Giacomo Venezian, 1 , 20133 Milano MI
The Vaccination Clinic of the IRCCS National Cancer Institute Foundation in Milan was established to provide a dedicated and highly specialized service for the prevention of infections in adult cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Institute, through the administration of vaccines recommended by leading national and international guidelines.
Another objective of the clinic is to prevent cancers caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, through the administration of the vaccine to both cancer patients and healthy individuals.
Vaccinations are evaluated and scheduled by a team of medical specialists and trained healthcare staff, based on the patient’s medical history and immunological status. Vaccinations are administered in a controlled environment, equipped to manage any adverse reactions, with each dose meticulously recorded.
In 2025, the Institute’s vaccination clinic received the “IRCCS PUBBLICO VACCINATO” recognition from The Bridge Foundation, in collaboration with the Lombardy Region, as part of the “VACCINATIONS FOR FRAGILE PATIENTS” initiative.
The clinic is located on Level -1, below the reception desk (from the entrance, follow the pink line).
