FAQs
What travel vaccinations do we offer at Arkaba Medical Centre?
We provide a thorough range of travel vaccinations to protect you during your overseas adventures. Our expert medical team can administer vaccines for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, meningococcal disease, yellow fever, and many others. We’ll assess your specific travel destinations and recommend the most suitable vaccinations based on current health guidelines and your individual medical history.
How far in advance should we book our travel vaccination appointment?
We recommend booking your travel vaccination consultation at least 4-6 weeks before your departure date. Some vaccines require multiple doses or time to build immunity, so early planning guarantees you are fully protected. Nevertheless, don’t worry if you are traveling sooner – we’ll work with your timeline and provide the best protection possible given your departure date.
Do we need to bring anything specific to our travel vaccination appointment?
Yes, please bring your current vaccination records, passport or travel itinerary showing your destinations, and any relevant medical history. We’ll additionally need to know the duration of your trip and the types of activities you are planning. This information helps us provide personalised recommendations and guarantees we are giving you the most appropriate protection for your specific travel plans.
Are travel vaccinations covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Most routine travel vaccinations aren’t covered by Medicare, as they are considered preventive care for voluntary travel. Nonetheless, some private health insurance policies may provide partial coverage depending on your level of cover. We’ll provide you with detailed information about costs upfront, and our team can help you understand what might be covered under your specific insurance policy.
Can we get travel vaccinations if we are taking other medications or have health conditions?
In most cases, yes – we can safely administer travel vaccinations even when you are on medications or have existing health conditions. Our experienced medical team will review your complete medical history and current medications to guarantee all vaccines are safe and appropriate for you. We’ll discuss any potential interactions or considerations and may adjust timing or vaccine selection if needed to keep you safe and protected.
