What are travel vaccinations?

Travel vaccinations are vaccines that are advised or required for people travelling to specific countries or regions. These vaccines provide protection against illnesses that are common in the areas being visited but may not be present in the traveller’s home country.

Yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and rabies are just a few of the serious illnesses that travel vaccines can help prevent. Some vaccines may be required by law for entry into certain countries, while others are suggested based on the traveller’s destination, length of stay, and planned activities.

During your travel vaccination clinic, one of the travel health experts will have a short consultation with you and check which vaccines are required and recommended for your travel destinations. You may also ask any questions during the appointment.

Why do you need travel vaccinations?

When you plan your next trip abroad, make sure that you have the required and recommended vaccinations. Here are a few main reasons why it is important to get travel vaccinations:

Travel vaccination provides protection against infectious diseases that could cause serious health issues or even death.
Some countries require certain vaccination as entry requirements. For example, Saudi Arabia requires those visiting for Hajj and Umrah to show a certificate of Meningitis ACWY Vaccine administration at the time of entry.
Most travel insurance policies require travellers to have the recommended vaccine before travelling.
Travel vaccinations can help prevent disease transmission from one country to the next while also protecting the health of local populations in the destinations being visited
Travellers can reduce the risk of illness and have a healthier and more enjoyable trip by getting the necessary travel vaccinations.

It is important to remember that alongside vaccinations, you should also follow other precautions and travel advice. For example, using mosquito repellents and covering your body to protect against mosquito bites in areas with malaria risk.

When should you plan to get travel vaccines before your next trip?

If you are planning to go abroad, it is recommended that you book a travel clinic appointment well in advance to ensure that there is enough time to get the full course of all the recommended vaccines. Some vaccines have multiple doses that needs to be administered over a few weeks or months.

You should aim to book your travel vaccination appointment 6-8 weeks prior to your departure. If this is not possible then you should book it as early as possible. You can check our clinic availablity and book online.
