When should I book my travel clinic appointment?
It is recommended to schedule an appointment with a travel clinic well in advance, preferably six to eight weeks prior to departure. This timeframe permits for any necessary vaccinations, as some may require multiple doses administered over the course of several weeks.
Additionally, booking early assures availability at the clinic and allows for any necessary pre-travel health consultations. Do not wait until the eleventh hour to secure your appointment and ensure a seamless and timely journey preparation.
Which Vaccines do I need for my holiday?
Knowing which vaccines you need for your travel destination requires an assessment of the required/recommended vaccines for your travel destination as well as your past medical and immunisation history. It is recommended that you book an appointment with a travel health clinic where the healthcare professionals will provide advice tailored to you and your travel plans. You will also be offered the relevant vaccines and other travel essentials.

Popular travel vaccines
There are many vaccines available for travel purposes. The travel health professional will advise you on the vaccines recommended for your travel destinations. Some of the popular travel vaccines include:
Malaria prevention treatments
Malaria is a serious condition that is found in many tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. It is transmitted through a mosquito bite and if left untreated it can cause serious illness and death. If you are travelling abroad, it is recommended to check the risk of malaria in the countries you are visiting. Book a travel clinic appointment for expert advice on malaria prevention and travel vaccines.
You can get antimalarial tablets from travel clinics that can reduce your risk of catching malaria. The antimalarial tablets are required to be started before your departure, during your stay in the malaria risk zone and after your stay. Therefore it is important to book your appointment early to leave enough time for you to take the recommended course. The travel health experts will also advise you on mosquito repellents and general advice on avoiding mosquito bites. Find out more about the antimalarial service here.
