Immunisation is essential to protect yourself and your family when travelling to certain countries. We provide advice on required vaccinations and the length of time you should plan those vaccinations before you go away. In general, we ask patients to allow a minimum of three weeks before the departure date. 

 

Where necessary we can provide ‘rapid programmes’ but not all vaccinations are immediately effective and in general we advise against this. An initial consultation is carried out and a certificate is provided showing the immunisations you have received. 

 

Some occupations carry certain health hazards but there is no obligation on employers to provide appropriate vaccinations. Our clinic offers immunisation against Hepatitis B and other serious illnesses. 

Rabies, Japanese B Encephalitis and others can be provided on request. 

 

Those travelling to malarial countries should take appropriate medication to protect themselves. 

 

We advise on, and supply, various medication to suit individuals. Other medication can be provided for emergency use abroad such as antibiotics.
