How to Be a Smart Traveller: Timing, Planning Tips

• Book with time to spare: to receive the full course of potentially complex NHS or centre-based travel vaccination, book well in advance (at least 6-8 weeks) before travelling to fill the time gap, schedule the vaccination and receive all the necessary medication.
Bring your details: Take your travel schedule, medical background and history, any previous immunisation records, and information on any allergies or reactions to aid in personalising your consultation and vaccine strategy.
• Verify vaccine requirements: Some countries have particular vaccines required in order to enter – such as yellow fever, or yellow fever and meningitis ACWY.
Combine services: You can get a combined visit at a clinic such as CityDoc, where they will provide vaccines as well as anti-malarial medication at once – a big time-saving benefit when you are time constrained.
