Health advice when travelling

If you are travelling for work it is important that you consider your own health in the context of your planned itinerary and the specific activites you will undertake - including any leisure /sight-seeing activities.

It is important to remember 90% of travel related ill health is not vaccine preventable.

When to contact us

Ideally at least 6 weeks prior to departure date (as you may require more than one visit to the Occupational Health Service to complete some vaccination schedules). However, if your departure date is imminent, it is extremely important that you get travel health advice now to ensure that you are equipped to protect your health whilst travelling for work.
