Travel Vaccinations & Medications

When you travel abroad, you often need additional vaccinations or medications to protect yourself from infections which pose a threat in other parts of the world.
Our expert doctors and pharmacists will check which vaccinations or medications you need to help you prepare for your trip.

Travel Vaccinations

Cholera Vaccination

Cholera is a bacterial infection that can cause severe diarrhoea. It isn’t found in the UK, but there’s a small risk of catching it if you’re travelling to or through certain parts of the world.

Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a viral infection of the brain transmitted to humans by mosquitoes in parts of Asia and the Western Pacific.

Rabies Vaccination

Rabies is a dangerous viral infection endemic to many countries. The rabies vaccination is used to prevent an infection prior to travelling to a high risk area.

Tick-borne Encephalitis Vaccination

Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) is a viral infection endemic to many European countries. If you are planning to stay in an area with a high occurrence of infected ticks, a TBE vaccination is the safest way of avoiding the infection. It is particularly relevant if you are planning to spend a lot of time outdoors.

Typhoid Vaccination

Typhoid fever is a highly contagious and potentially lethal disease, which spreads via contaminated foods and water. As typhoid bacteria are primarily found in faeces, the infection is particularly common in regions with poor sanitation.

Travel Medications
