Last-Minute Travel Vaccines: What You Need to Know

You’re leaving in a week and you’ve just realised you haven’t sorted your travel jabs. Don’t panic. It’s not ideal, but it’s not too late for most vaccines. 

Single-dose vaccines (Hepatitis A, Typhoid injection, Yellow Fever, Meningitis ACWY) start working within 1-2 weeks. Even 7 days out, getting vaccinated now gives you partial protection. 

Rabies normally needs 2 doses spaced 7 days apart. If you’ve got a week, we can get both done. 

Multi-dose vaccines (Hepatitis B, Japanese Encephalitis) ideally need more time, but starting now means partial protection and fewer jabs next time. 

Some protection is always better than none. Call us – we often have same-day or next-day availability.
