Why Visit a Travel Clinic

A travel clinic expert will advise you on what travel vaccines you need for your trip, and how long in advance you need to get them.

When making your travel plans, keep in mind that the preventative effects of a vaccine are not always immediate. there are some that require multiple doses spread out over a few weeks. To allow sufficient time for the vaccination protection you need, plan to visit your GP or travel clinic at least eight weeks before you board you leave on your trip.
