Travel Vaccinations Clinic in Perth

What’s next?

First things first. Book your appointment 2 months in advance of your departure – if you can help it – so that our Rokeby GP travel experts can assist you as best they can. When chatting to our friendly staff, you may need to answer a few questions so we can ensure your appointment is the right length of time and the basic requirements required to prepare for your travel plans.

We recommend wearing appropriate clothing to your appointment, in case you receive arm injections.

There will be two stages to your appointment; a consultation in the doctor’s office, followed by the travel vaccinations you may require. Please allow an hour for this appointment.

After your vaccination, you are required to stay for a 15-minute observation period. It’s unlikely you will experience adverse effects from the vaccination(s) however in the event you do, please contact Rokeby GP or your nearest health professional immediately.

Travel Vaccinations

The most common travel vaccines required are influenza, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and typhoid. Recommended vaccines will vary widely depending on your destination, length of stay, standard of accommodation, exposure to animals, and personal preference.

A course of hepatitis A and B vaccination gives most people lifelong protection and hence is very valuable for repeat travel. Typhoid vaccine lasts three years. Influenza vaccine is recommended annually and begins to wane after ¾ months, an important consideration as flu is very easy to catch in the enclosed space of an airplane and is transmitted all year in tropical countries.

It’s also crucial to ensure your childhood vaccinations are up to date. If in doubt we can do a blood test to check your immunity.
