If you are travelling overseas on business or for a much-needed holiday you want to ensure that you are in the best possible health. Don’t waste a well-earned break or a potential business opportunity by being unwell. We stock numerous travel vaccines onsite, including yellow fever.
We recommend visiting one of the doctors consulting at Altona North Medical Hub at least 6 weeks before your departure date. This will give you the time to obtain all of the necessary vaccinations and receive practical advice for staying well while you are overseas. Moreover, some vaccines require a course for adequate immunity – so don’t leave your visit until the last minute!
Vaccinations and their corresponding destinations
Deciding which exact vaccinations you need depends on a number of factors and is best left to a qualified health professional. These factors include:
- The country or region you are visiting
- The length of your trip
- The specific locations within that region you will visit (e.g. rural areas)
- Past immunisation history
Make an appointment with one of the doctors consulting from ANMH to discuss your upcoming trip and they will map out an immunisation plan specific to your circumstances.
What to bring to your consultation
You can make the most out of your travel vaccination consultation by planning ahead and preparing some basic documentation. Based on the information below your doctor will be able to map out an immunisation plan:
- Past immunisation history
- Itinerary
- Dates you are travelling away
- Any challenging or out-of-the-way accommodation you may be staying in
- Any special activities (skiing, surfing, etc.)
