Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?

Many popular destinations expose travellers to diseases that are uncommon in the UK. Depending on where you're travelling, you may be at risk of illnesses such as:

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Typhoid
Rabies
Japanese Encephalitis
Cholera
Tick-Borne Encephalitis
Yellow Fever

Travel vaccinations can significantly reduce your risk of serious illness and help ensure your trip is safe and enjoyable.

When Should You Book Your Travel Vaccination Appointment?

Ideally, you should arrange your travel health consultation 6 to 8 weeks before departure. This allows enough time for vaccinations to become effective and for any multi-dose vaccination courses to be completed.

However, even if you're travelling sooner, it's still worth booking an appointment as many vaccines can provide useful protection at short notice.
