A 60-minute consultation with an authorised pharmacist immuniser who can make a qualified assessment, prescribe the most appropriate immunisation and administer your vaccine/s in one visit, bypassing the need for multiple visits to a GP.
Countries often have different immunisation requirements, and the Australian Government also has recommendations that should be considered prior to travelling overseas.
These may differ from person to person depending on your specific circumstances, the locations you are travelling and even the time of year.
Ideally, you should have vaccinations administered at least 6-12 weeks prior to your departure to give your body time to develop full immunity. Additionally, some vaccines consist of multipledoses.
Our Travel Vaccination Consult includes:
Pre-screening checklist to ensure all information is obtained and the appointment process is smooth.
Travel health consultation to determine a traveller’s individual level of risk.
Travel health risk assessment discussing important travel related vaccine-preventable diseases and common travel-related illnesses.
Travel vaccines* administered based on recommendations.
Individualised travel health advice to ensure you are prepared for your entire trip.
* Please note, some travel vaccinations and medications are excluded, for example, the following will need to be prescribed by a medical practitioner:
Yellow Fever vaccination
Rabies vaccination
Malaria tablets
Traveller’s Diarrhoea antibiotics
