Travel Vaccines
Slough Travel Clinic
Be protected with travel vaccines for your trip
If you’re planning on travelling outside of the UK, you may need to be vaccinated before you set off for your trip. Having travel vaccinations can help prevent you from getting some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world. At Collingwood Health, we have travel vaccinations to help protect you against serious diseases such as Yellow Fever, Rabies and Hepatitis A and can also provide a range of antimalarials.
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:
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 is not required, it’s still a good idea to take a record of the vaccinations you have had with you.
How long before I travel do I need vaccinations?
Although the average immune response will take around 7-21 days after being vaccinated, it is important to get vaccinated at least 4-6 weeks before you travel. This is so that there is time for the vaccines to work, as well as certain vaccinations which require multiple doses that span over months.
What do I need for a travel advice appointment?
For your travel vaccination appointment, you’ll need:
- Details about your trip (like destination, date and planned activities)
- Details of any medical condition or medication you’re taking
- History of previous vaccinations if known
We can provide expert advice, vaccinations & malaria prevention that’s tailored to you and your travel plans.
