Travel Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations

If you travel outside of Australia, then there is a possibility that you may be at risk of getting sick from a number of diseases, depending on where you are traveling to, that are preventable by vaccination. Different vaccines are needed for different countries and finding out your risk factors are important in preventing illness and diseases. Consulting your doctor 6 to 12 weeks before you travel is the best way to stay updated and informed.

If you require travel vaccinations you should contact your doctor as soon as possible as some vaccinations may require a series of injections.

We keep a large number of travel vaccinations in our dedicated vaccine fridge that immunise against:

  • Hepatitis A
  • Polio
  • Typhoid
  • Cholera
  • Meningitis
  • Diphtheria

We can also update immunity against:

  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Rubella
  • Whooping cough
  • Influenza
