Flu Vaccine Appointment

What is Chikungunya?

Chikungunya is caused by a virus that spreads through mosquito bites. The illness often appears suddenly and can resemble flu-like symptoms.

Typical symptoms may include:
  • Sudden fever and chills
  • Severe joint pain
  • Muscle aches and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Rash on the skin
Although rarely life-threatening, symptoms can be severe and long-lasting. There is currently no specific treatment, which makes prevention through vaccination the best option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chikungunya vaccine?

The Chikungunya vaccine is an injection that helps protect travellers against the Chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne illness common in tropical and subtropical regions.

Do I really need the Chikungunya vaccine?

If you are travelling to areas where outbreaks are common — especially rural or outdoor environments — vaccination is strongly recommended. It is the most effective way to reduce your risk of infection.

How many doses of the Chikungunya vaccine do I need?

In most cases, a single dose is sufficient to provide protection. Your doctor will confirm based on your medical history and travel plans.

When should I get the vaccine before travelling?
It is best to book your vaccine at least 2–3 weeks before departure, giving your body time to build immunity. However, even last-minute travellers may still benefit.
Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate the Chikungunya vaccine well. Mild side effects such as redness at the injection site, headache, or slight fatigue may occur but usually resolve quickly.
Is the Chikungunya vaccine available on the NHS?
Currently, the Chikungunya vaccine is not routinely available on the NHS, but it is accessible through private clinics such as Private Medical Clinic.
