Travel Vaccination FAQ’s

The specific vaccinations needed for international travel vary based on the destination, the duration of your stay, your activities while traveling, and your own health. Commonly recommended vaccines for travelers include those for hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and rabies, in addition to routine vaccinations such as influenza, measles, and varicella. Book an appointment at our Armadale or Caulfield South Clinic today if you’d like us to provide destination-specific advice.

Yes, it is often possible to receive multiple vaccinations in one visit. Many travel vaccines can be administered simultaneously without reducing their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. This approach is beneficial for completing vaccine schedules quickly, especially for travellers preparing on short notice.

Side effects of travel vaccinations are generally mild and may include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, low-grade fever, and muscle aches. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, including allergic reactions. Always discuss the potential side effects with us before receiving any vaccine.

Yes, children may require different vaccinations compared to adults, depending on their age, vaccination history, the destination, and the length of travel. Some vaccines may be administered at a younger age if traveling to high-risk areas, and dosages may vary. It’s crucial to consult with one of our pediatricians or a travel medicine specialists to ensure that your children receive appropriate vaccinations for their specific travel plans.

The frequency of travel vaccinations depends on the vaccine, the destination, and the duration between trips. Some vaccines, like yellow fever, can provide coverage for up to ten years, while others, like typhoid, may require a booster every two to three years if travel continues to areas where these diseases are prevalent. Always verify the duration of vaccine effectiveness and any necessary boosters with a our staff.

The number of COVID-19 vaccines required for travel can vary depending on the destination country’s regulations, the vaccine type, and your previous vaccination status. Most destinations recognise a full primary vaccination series (typically two doses of an mRNA vaccine like Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose of a single-dose vaccine like Johnson & Johnson) as sufficient, but some may require an additional booster shot, especially if a significant amount of time has passed since the initial series. Always check the specific entry requirements for COVID-19 vaccinations for your destination well in advance of traveling.
