If you’re about to travel outside of the UK, you may need to be vaccinated before you set off for your trip. The childhood vaccination programme in the UK protects you from a number of diseases, but you may need extra vaccinations or antimalarials if you’re planning on visiting certain parts of the world.
Getting vaccinated can help prevent you from getting ill if you’re exposed to diseases which we don’t normally have in the UK. We can help you understand how to keep your risks low of getting a disease while abroad and help you work out which vaccinations and antimalarials you may want to consider depending on things like:
- Which regions you’ll be visiting
- What activities you’ll be doing
- Your age and general health
Some travel vaccinations may be needed several weeks before departure. Ideally you should see us six to eight weeks before travelling, but we may still be able to help if you’re leaving sooner.
Our service offers the following vaccinations:
- Cholera
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Japanese encephalitis
- Meningitis ACWY
- Rabies
- Tick-borne encephalitis
- Typhoid
- Yellow fever
We also recommend making sure that your childhood immunisations are up to date to protect you against diseases like:
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
- Diphtheria, tetanus and polio (DTP)
Travellers not sure of their vaccination history should check with their GP.
The cost of the listed vaccinations will be available on our website soon.
