Travel Medicine and Travel Vaccination
Most practices affiliated to Harbour Health offer travel vaccination and information around ‘healthy traveling’. This not only includes vaccinations required for the specific countries or regions within the countries that you may be visiting, but also other useful health information ensuring that you remain healthy while you travel, or for treating minor travel illnesses.
It is recommended that you consult with your General Practitioner or Practice Nurse who will access your particular health risks before recommending vaccines or anti/malarial tablets.
This is a good opportunity to discuss important travel health issues including safe food and water, accidents, sun exposure, insect bites and sexual health.
