FAQs
What travel vaccinations do we offer at our medical centre?
We provide an extensive range of travel vaccinations to protect you during your overseas trips. Our services include routine vaccinations like hepatitis A and B, typhoid, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, meningococcal disease, and rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis. We’ll assess your specific travel destination, duration of stay, and planned activities to recommend the most appropriate vaccinations for your journey.
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 vaccinations require multiple doses given weeks apart to be fully effective, and others need time to build immunity in your system. Nevertheless, don’t worry if you are traveling sooner – we can still help with last-minute travel plans and provide guidance on protective measures you can take.
Do we need to bring anything specific to our travel vaccination appointment?
Yes, we’d like you to bring your vaccination record or immunisation history if you have it, along with details about your travel itinerary including destinations, dates, accommodation types, and planned activities. We’ll additionally need to know about any medical conditions you have and current medications you are taking, as these can affect which vaccinations we recommend for your trip.
How much do travel vaccinations cost and are they covered by Medicare?
Travel vaccination costs vary depending on which vaccines you need, and unfortunately, most travel-specific vaccinations aren’t covered by Medicare as they are considered elective. We’ll provide you with a clear breakdown of costs during your consultation so you can reach educated conclusions. Some private health insurance policies may offer partial coverage, so we recommend checking with your provider beforehand.
Can we get travel health advice along with our vaccinations?
Absolutely! We provide extensive travel health consultations that go beyond just vaccinations. We’ll discuss important health precautions for your destination, including food and water safety, insect bite prevention, altitude sickness prevention, and what to pack in your travel health kit. We’ll also provide guidance on managing any existing medical conditions while traveling and emergency contacts for medical care abroad.
