Why you should book a travel consultation before you fly
Some countries require proof of vaccination, which may need to be recorded on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.
Risk varies by region, season and activities, including rural travel, backpacking, hostels, camping and long trips.
The NHS advises seeing a GP or private travel clinic at least 6 to 8 weeks before travel where possible, because some vaccines need time to work and some courses involve multiple doses.
Health conditions, pregnancy and some medicines can affect which vaccines are suitable. A consultation helps you plan safely.

Malaria prevention: advice, bite prevention and tablets
Do I need malaria tablets for my destination?
The NHS advises getting advice before travel to areas where malaria is found. It is best to do this 4 to 6 weeks before travel, but you can still get advice at the last minute.
If tablets are advised, you may need to start them before you travel and continue after you return.
Bite avoidance essentials
The NHS advises using insect repellent, sleeping under insecticide treated mosquito nets, and covering arms and legs when mosquitoes are most active.

Suitability depends on your health, your itinerary and side effects. A consultation helps you choose a plan you can follow.
