Travel and Vaccinations
Whether you are planning to travel internationally for leisure or professional reasons, it is essential to undergo a thorough health assessment before your departure. Furthermore, obtaining the required vaccinations and medications that are specifically advised for your destination is vital.
These preventive measures are important not just for protecting your own health but also for reducing the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Making sure your vaccinations are current and having the necessary medical supplies will greatly enhance a safe and healthy travel journey.

Important Vaccinations
- Yellow Fever vaccination is highly recommended for travel to several countries in Central America and Equatorial Africa due to its endemic nature in these regions. In fact, some countries may even require a certificate from a registered clinic as proof of vaccination for entry.
- Malaria presents a risk in various parts of the world, and it is advisable to take prophylactic measures such as tablets before traveling to affected areas. The specific type of tablet needed can vary depending on the region you plan to visit.
- For travellers embarking on extended trips like gap-year travellers and voluntary workers who may come into contact with bodily fluids, Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended. This typically involves a series of three injections to provide protection.
- In regions like South East Asia where Tick and Japanese Encephalitis are prevalent, it is important to take precautions, including vaccination, to safeguard against these diseases while travelling
