Travel Health & Vaccinations
If you’re planning to travel, it’s important to arrange your travel vaccination appointment as early as possible. Some vaccines need to be given weeks before departure, and certain vaccines may need to be ordered in advance.
We provide:
- Advice on travel‑related health risks
- Vaccinations for international travel
- Prescriptions for prophylactic medications (e.g., malaria prevention)
- Guidance on food and water safety, insect‑borne illnesses, and general travel precautions
Whether you know which vaccines you need or would like advice for an upcoming trip, we can help you plan safely.
Please note: Travel vaccines must be paid in full before your vaccination appointment.
Planning Your Travel Vaccines
Many illnesses abroad are caused by contaminated food or water, poor hygiene, or insect bites. Vaccination and preventative medication can significantly reduce your risk.
Common travel vaccines for trips to Asia, Africa, and the Americas include:
- Hepatitis A
- Typhoid
- Tetanus
- Diphtheria
- Polio
Some vaccines must be given at least two weeks before travel, and others even earlier. Contact us as soon as you know your travel dates so we can schedule your consultation and order any required vaccines.
