There is no point spending hours choosing your swimwear, beach bag and flip-flops if you barely think about the bugs and other health risks that could ruin your holiday.

Almost one in four UK holidaymakers don’t get any vaccinations despite travelling to areas that have life-threatening infectious disease.

If you planning to travel abroad we suggest you make an appointment to discuss your requirements at least 8 weeks before you are due to travel. An early appointment is needed to ensure that the nurse can carry out a full assessment and provide advice on recommended immunisations.

In some parts of the world these can change if there are outbreaks of diseases which put travellers at more risk. Once you have decided on specific immunisations, we will then arrange for the vaccines to be ordered. Protection against some diseases may require more than a single vaccination carried out over a number of weeks. In some cases we will not be able to complete all recommended immunisations in the recommended timescale if you do not contact us early enough.
