Travel Information
When travelling to areas with a high risk of contracting infectious diseases, it is important to consider getting travel vaccinations to protect yourself. The vaccinations you need depends on where you are going and the time of year of your trip.
These vaccinations are in addition to the ones you receive according to the UK vaccination schedule and some countries may require proof of certain vaccinations before allowing entry.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, as soon as your travel plans are confirmed, you should contact a local traffic clinic to discuss your travel arrangements.
Allow Enough Time
Please ensure that you give yourself at least 8 weeks to receive advice and organise your vaccinations prior to your departure.
You should give as much notice as possible as certain travel vaccinations have to be given over an extended period. Others need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity.
