Why do you need the Vaccination

 

 

 

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

​

When should I start thinking about the vaccines I need?

​

 At least 8 weeks before you're due to travel. Some vaccines need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity.

And some vaccines involve a number of doses spread over several weeks or months.

You may be more at risk of some diseases, for example, if you're:

• travelling in rural areas

• backpacking

• staying in hostels or camping

• on a long trip rather than a package holiday

If you have a pre-existing health problem, this may make you more at risk of infection or complications from a travel-related illness.

Which travel vaccines do I need?

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro

• NHS Fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Saudi Arabia requires proof of vaccination against certain types of meningitis for visitors arriving for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

Even if an ICVP isn't required, it's still a good idea to take a record of the vaccinations you have had with you.
