Your Guide to Travel Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations

Protect Yourself with The Leading Provider of Travel Vaccines in Edgbaston, Birmingham

Travelling to new places can be an exciting adventure, but it’s important to make sure you’re prepared for the journey ahead. One aspect of travel that often gets overlooked is vaccinations. Vaccinations protect against infectious diseases that can be common in different parts of the world, and can help prevent illness and disease transmission while travelling.

So, what are travel vaccinations?

Travel vaccinations are vaccines that are recommended or required for people who are travelling to different parts of the world. These vaccines may be different from the ones you received as a child, as they are specifically designed to protect against diseases that are more common in certain regions.

Why are travel vaccinations important?

Travel vaccinations can help prevent serious illness and disease transmission while travelling. Some countries require proof of certain vaccinations before allowing entry, so it’s important to research the requirements before you go. Even if the country you’re visiting doesn’t require vaccinations, it’s still a good idea to protect yourself against common diseases.

For example, if you’re travelling to Thailand, it’s important to get vaccinated for diseases such as hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies and Japanese encephalitis. These diseases are common in Thailand and can be prevented with the right vaccinations. Similarly, if you’re travelling to India, it’s recommended to get vaccinated for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and rabies (amongst others). These diseases are also common in India and can be prevented with the right vaccinations.

If you’re planning a trip, it’s important to speak to one of our doctors to determine which vaccinations you may need. The UK government’s travel health website, TravelHealthPro.org.uk, is a great resource for finding out which vaccinations are recommended for different countries.
