💉 When Should You Book Your Vaccines?
We recommend booking your pre-travel consultation at least 4–6 weeks before your departure. This ensures:
- Adequate time for multi-dose vaccines (e.g. Hepatitis B or Rabies)
- Full immune protection by the time you travel
- Flexibility if any boosters or additional protection is needed
If your trip is last-minute, don’t worry — West Midlands Travel Clinic offers urgent appointments and can prioritise vaccines based on your schedule.
🤒 Common Travel Vaccines & Side Effects
Wondering what to expect? Most travel vaccines are well tolerated, with only mild side effects such as:
- Redness or soreness at the injection site
- Low-grade fever
- Fatigue or mild headache
Your clinician will review your medical history and answer any questions you have during your appointment.
🦟 Do You Need Malaria Protection?
Many summer destinations — especially parts of Africa, Asia, and South America — also carry a malaria risk. Depending on your itinerary, you may need antimalarial tablets in addition to your vaccines.
We’ll help determine the right malaria prevention plan for your trip and provide practical tips like:
- Using insect repellent
- Wearing long sleeves in the evening
- Sleeping under mosquito nets if needed
