Travel Vaccination
Planning an international trip? Ensure your health is protected by booking your travel vaccinations early.
The Health Services Authority (HSA) and Public Health Department strongly advise travelers to schedule their vaccination well in advance to stay safeguarded against preventable diseases.
Book Your Travel Health Appointment
Protect yourself before you travel. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact the Public Health Department at 244-2648.
Why Vaccination Matters
Travel vaccines help protect against serious diseases such as yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid. However, many vaccines take time to become effective, and some require multiple doses over several weeks. Delaying your vaccination could put your health at risk.
When to Schedule your Appointment
The Public Health Department recommends booking your travel vaccinations at least 6–8 weeks before departure. This ensures adequate time for the vaccines to take effect and avoids the risk of limited appointment availability.
Travel Health Tips
- Check destination requirements – Research the vaccines needed for your travel location.
- Book early – Schedule your appointment as soon as you confirm your travel plans.
- Be honest about your itinerary – Providing complete details helps healthcare providers recommend the best protection for your trip.
