Travel Health

When you travel abroad, you often need additional vaccinations to protect yourself from infections which pose a threat in other parts of the world.

Travel vaccinations are essential for staying protected while abroad, with different destinations requiring or recommending specific vaccines, such as Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Rabies. To ensure adequate immunity, it’s best to begin vaccinations 4–6 weeks before travel. Routine vaccines, including MMR, tetanus, and diphtheria, should also be up-to-date. Travel health clinics offer personalized guidance on vaccines and precautions needed for your trip. Additionally, for regions with malaria risk, consult about anti-malarial medications, as there’s no malaria vaccine yet. A travel clinic consultation can help you understand all preventive measures for a safe journey.
