Travel vaccinations and advice

Which travel vaccines do I need?

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Travel risk assessment

We offer a full travel and advice immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form

We require a minimum of eight weeks' notice before the travel date, as some vaccines for travel take several weeks to become effective, and others necessitate a series of doses spaced more than three weeks apart. Should the journey fall outside our scope of expertise, or if we are not allotted adequate time to prepare for the travel, you will be directed to consult a Travel Vaccination Clinic.
