Vaccine guides
Travel vaccines, explained simply
Each guide covers what the vaccine protects against, how many doses to expect, when to have them, and the kinds of destinations it is usually recommended for.
Your pharmacist or travel nurse can match the right vaccines to your itinerary.
Before you go
Plan your travel health like you plan your route
- Start earlySome courses need several doses over weeks. Booking early gives full protection time.
- Bring your itineraryDestinations, trip length and activities all change which vaccines make sense.

How far ahead of my trip should I get travel vaccines?
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines need more than one dose spread over weeks, and your body needs time to build protection. Last-minute trips are still worth a consultation — a clinician can tell you what is realistic in the time you have.
Are travel vaccines free on the NHS?
Some are — for example diphtheria, tetanus and polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and cholera are generally available free through NHS GP practices. Others, such as rabies, Japanese encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis and hepatitis B for travel, are usually private. Always check with your GP or a travel clinic.
Do I need a certificate to enter certain countries?
A few destinations require proof of vaccination. Pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah need a Meningitis ACWY certificate, and some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination. Check entry requirements for every country on your route, including stopovers.
Which vaccines do I need for my trip?
It depends on where you are going, how long for, what you will be doing and your own medical history. A travel health consultation matches those details to the vaccines and precautions that are actually relevant to you.
What is this website, and does it book appointments?
