Travel vaccine
Travel health advice, vaccinations, and practical preparation based on where you’re going, what you’ll be doing, and your health needs.
Plan around your trip
The vaccinations and health advice you need depend on your age, itinerary, planned activities, previous vaccinations, and the health risks in each country you’ll visit.
A travel consultation can review these factors alongside any existing medical conditions or medicines, so you know what to arrange before you leave.

Before you travel
Depending on your trip and health needs, a pre-travel consultation can include:
- A travel risk assessment
- Review and optimisation of existing medical conditions and medicines
- Fitness-to-fly certification where needed
- A vaccination and immunisation plan
- Advice on where to access suitable medical care during your trip

If you become unwell after travel
Post-travel follow-up is available if you develop new symptoms after you return. Tell your doctor where you travelled and when your symptoms started so they can assess what may need further investigation.
