Book early
Please book a travel consultation at least six to eight weeks before you travel, as some vaccines need more than one dose or take time to work. If you are leaving sooner, still get in touch, as we may be able to help.
Your travel consultation
Your GP will look at where you are going, how long you will be away, what you plan to do and your medical history, then recommend the vaccines and medicines that are right for your trip.
