If you are travelling overseas, it is important to see your doctor at least 6 weeks before your trip to update your protection. Some vaccines require a number of doses and others can take several weeks to become effective.
Please call to make a booking with your GP and vaccination nurse.
Your vaccination needs may be different for each trip. They depend on your destinations, type of travel, the duration of your stay and season of travel, as well as any medical conditions you may have.
Common travel requirements include:
- Tetanus / diphtheria injection / whooping cough vaccine
- Polio vaccine
- Hepatitis A / B injections
- Typhoid capsules or injection
- Malaria tablets
- Yellow fever injection and certificate
Other vaccines used less often include meningococcal vaccine, cholera, rabies Japanese and encephalitis.
