Travel Vaccinations Nottingham – Planning to go abroad is always incredibly exciting, but it’s also very important to consider the more practical aspects to ensure you are safe on your travels. For those travelling to foreign countries, MedSkin Clinic offers a wide range of low-cost options for travel vaccinations. In this article, we’ll go through the most common of these, and the reasons why it’s so important to get yourself vaccinated before getting on the plane!
Why do I need vaccinations, and when do I get them?
Without travel vaccinations, anyone who travels is freely exposing themselves to some of the world’s most deadly diseases – and putting those back home at risk when they return. In fact, there are some places that will require proof that you have received a vaccination. This usually applies to countries where there has been an outbreak of a particularly bad or fatal disease, such as yellow fever or polio.
It’s good to book in an appointment with a clinic around eight weeks before you’re due to set off. This allows for any vaccinations that might require repeat treatment.
What vaccinations will I need?
This depends on the country you’re visiting – if you’re unsure you can either do your research online or alternatively feel free to contact us here at MedSkin Clinic and we’ll be able to give you more details.
What do I need to consider before vaccination?
It’s a good idea to check in with your regular GP to see if they’ve got your current vaccinations on record. As well as travel vaccinations, you should also ensure you’re up to date on any UK vaccinations.
You should then also bear in mind that if you have any pre-existing health conditions, or are over a certain age, it might be the case that you will not be able to receive certain travel injections due to a higher risk level. It is also important to mention to the healthcare professional who is vaccinating you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Whilst in most cases vaccinations will not cause any issues for an infant, it is better to check if unsure.
Are there any travel vaccinations that I cannot receive for free?
Yes, there are several vaccinations not available for free on the NHS that will require payment, and which can easily be received by visiting a private healthcare facility such as MedSkin Clinic. These are Rabies, Yellow Fever, Tuberculosis, Encephalitis (Japanese and tick-borne), Hepatitis B and Meningitis.
Visiting a private clinic is also a good way to receive travel vaccinations without being put on a long waiting list, so many people choose to receive their vaccinations privately even when they are available on the NHS.
