Switzerland (non EU) is being confused with Austria (EU) where the vignette is only for motorway travel, and you do not need one if you do not use the motorways.

In Switzerland you need one to drive on any road, and if you take a trailer or caravan you need one for that as well.

If you take an animal under the pet passport scheme, the rabies jab (or booster) must have been done within 12 months of entering or leaving Switzerland, even though the jab is valid for two years in most countries, including the UK.

You are right.

They have changed it to come into line with other EU countries (like Austria) since we were last there.

You have to make sure that you do not enter Switzerland via a motorway, or they will charge you at customs. The fine for not having one on a motorway is very severe.
