What should I do if I miss an injection or can't make it to my appointment?

Unexpected things can happen. The important thing is not to worry and to contact us as quickly as possible.

This is the most important step. Here are the most common scenarios:

  • If you are less than 7 days late: It is generally possible to receive your injection without any issues. Contact us to reschedule an appointment quickly.
  • If you are more than 7 days late: A bridging solution will likely be necessary to ensure continuous protection.

The solution for planned absences (trips, etc.): the oral bridge

If you know in advance that you will be unable to make it to your appointment, the best solution is to plan ahead.

  • How it works: Your healthcare team can prescribe you cabotegravir in pill form (Vocabria®), which is the oral version of your injection.
  • Your role: You take one pill per day during your absence to "bridge" the injection and maintain 100% protection.

The key is communication. We are here to offer the flexibility needed so that PrEP adapts to your life, not the other way around.
