Planning Your Vaccinations
It is important to plan your travel vaccinations well in advance. Some vaccines need to be given several weeks before your trip to allow your body to develop immunity, and some may require multiple doses over an extended period.
When to Start Thinking About Vaccines
Consider your vaccination needs at least 6 weeks before departure. This ensures adequate time for consultation and vaccination schedules.
Factors to Consider for Vaccinations
You may be at increased risk of infection or complications if you:
-
Are travelling to rural areas or on a long trip
-
Are backpacking or staying in hostels or camping
-
Have pre-existing health conditions that make you more vulnerable to infections
Additionally, you may need specific vaccines if you:
-
Are working as an aid worker in high-risk areas
-
Are working in a healthcare setting
-
Expect to have contact with animals (e.g., risk of rabies)
