About Travel Health:
Travelling to new places is exciting but can expose you to unfamiliar illnesses. We offer pre-travel health consults to help you stay well while you're away - including vaccinations, travel medicine, and advice for staying safe.
Who can we treat?
We can see patients aged 12 and over who are planning overseas travel and need vaccinations or travel medication.
How can we help?
Our team can assess your itinerary and provide tailored advice, suggest vaccinations* and provide medications to suit your travel plans.
- Travel vaccinations (e.g. hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus)
- Travel medicines (for diarrhoea, motion sickness, malaria, period delay)
- Emergency contraception and condoms if appropriate
*please note that we cannot provide yellow fever vaccinations at CareNow
