Non-urgent advice: Planning Ahead for Travel Vaccinations

The vaccines you need depend on where you are going, your health, and what activities you plan to do. Different vaccines need to be given at different times before you travel.

It’s important not to leave vaccinations until the last minute. Your body needs time to build protection, and getting vaccinated late may mean you are not fully protected when you travel. Also, if you have any side effects, these could happen while you are away.
We recommend booking a travel consultation at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip.

Some vaccines need several weeks or months and multiple doses to work properly. Booking early also helps us offer enough time to assess the risks for you and any family members travelling with you.

If you want to check your travel vaccine status or have questions, please contact us online or call our Patient Services Team. Please note that some travel vaccines may incur a charge.
