Which Vaccinations Do You Need?
Every traveller is different. The vaccines you need depend on where you're going, how long you're travelling, what activities you have planned, and your existing vaccination history. Our pharmacist will review everything prior to your appointment and advise exactly which vaccines you need — no guesswork, no unnecessary jabs.
HEPATITIS A
Recommended for most destinations outside Northern Europe, North America and Australia.
Transmitted through contaminated food and water.
Single dose provides protection for up to 1 year. Booster extends protection to 25+ years.
HEPATITIS B
Recommended for longer stays or travellers likely to need medical treatment abroad.
Three dose course over 6 months — or accelerated schedule available.
Also recommended for healthcare workers travelling abroad.
CHOLERA
Recommended for certain destinations with poor sanitation or during outbreaks.
Oral vaccine — two doses taken one to six weeks apart.
Also provides some protection against traveller's diarrhoea.
TYPHOID
Recommended for South Asia, Africa and South America.
Transmitted through contaminated food and water.

• Doxycycline — daily, start two days before travel
