I plan on travelling to Kenya soon to do some volunteer work. As I have been travelling around for a long time I have given up my previous residency in the Netherlands which means I no longer have the national health insurance and my travel insurance has also run out.

So my question is; is it possible for me to obtain vaccinations in Austria if I do not have any insurance?

Can I just pay it out of my own pocket? Or is insurance required to even go see a doctor or specialist. I need to get the yellow fever vaccination.

    Not posting as an answer because I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the Tropeninstitut in Wien don't require that you have insurance. At any rate, it might be worth your while to contact them and ask.

In Austria, the costs for travel vaccinations are not covered by the regular health insurance, but must be paid in full by the person requesting them. Source: Austrian Government's Health Portal

Not being insured should not prevent you from getting the recommended vaccinations.
