Travel vaccines explained
What to book, when to book it, and how long each vaccine takes to become effective.
Clinical Team · 28 October 2025
Travel vaccinations are not one size fits all. What you need depends on where you are going, what you will be doing, and how long you will be there.
How to prepare
Book six to eight weeks ahead
Some vaccines need multiple doses across several weeks.
Bring your itinerary
Rural travel, altitude, and time of year all change what we recommend.
Consider anti-malarials
Where relevant, we will prescribe alongside your vaccinations.
