Why travel vaccines matter and timing

Risk varies by destination and trip style. Risk can rise with rural travel, backpacking, hostels or camping, long stays, healthcare work, and animal contact. 

Vaccines are not instant. Some need to be given in advance so your body can build immunity. Some involve a course over weeks or months. 

Travel vaccine checklist by region

This is a guide only. Your consultation should confirm what you need.

Africa

May include hepatitis A, typhoid, hepatitis B, rabies, and yellow fever for certain countries. Malaria prevention is often part of the plan.

Asia

May include hepatitis A, typhoid, hepatitis B, rabies, and Japanese encephalitis for higher risk rural or long stay travel.

Middle East

May include routine boosters plus hepatitis A or typhoid for some itineraries. Some travellers may need proof of vaccination for specific entry requirements.

Most requested travel vaccines

Hepatitis A

Often advised for travel where food and water hygiene risks are higher. 

Typhoid

Often advised for similar food and water risks. 

Tetanus, diphtheria and polio booster

A routine booster that can be important before travel.

Hepatitis B

May be advised for longer stays, healthcare work, medical or dental treatment abroad, or other exposure to blood or body fluids. 

Rabies

May be advised for animal contact risk or remote travel. After any bite or scratch, urgent medical care is still needed.

Japanese encephalitis

May be advised for longer stays in parts of Asia with higher mosquito exposure, especially rural travel.

Yellow fever

Some countries require proof of vaccination on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis. The NHS notes yellow fever vaccine is only available from designated centres. Fulham Palace Pharmacy states it is a registered centre. 

Cholera

May be advised for higher risk travel, such as aid work, healthcare work, or areas with outbreaks. 

Malaria tablets

Not a vaccine. Prevention usually combines bite avoidance with tablets for many destinations.

What happens at a travel clinic appointment

You will be asked about destinations, dates, accommodation, and activities.

A clinician checks your medical history, medicines, allergies, and any previous vaccine reactions.
