At the Ashe Street Clinic we have a special interest in travel/tropical medicine and provide a comprehensive travel vaccination and health advice service. No matter what the reason is for your trip, you will need to be aware of the health risks which can occur when you are away from home.

Taking simple precautions will go a long way towards keeping you safe and healthy.

Which vaccines will I need? 
Vaccine requirements will vary depending on several factors including your previous vaccination history, destinations, planned activities etc.

Commonly needed vaccines for travel to certain parts of Asia, Africa and America include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus and Diphtheria.
Hepatitis B vaccines are advised for travellers staying away for a month or more in certain  areas and/or if participating in certain activities.

Rabies vaccines may be required if you will be staying, travelling through or trekking in remote or jungle areas in some countries or working with animals.

Rabies and Hepatitis B vaccines both require a course of 3 injections at intervals over the course of 28 days (accelerated schedules), so it makes sense to start your vaccinations earlier rather than later.

Depending on the Travel Alerts in operation at the expected time of your travel and on the countries you intend to visit, other vaccines may be required. Our Travel Clinic staff will ensure that you are made aware of the recommended vaccines.

In advance of contacting the Ashe Street Clinic we recommend that you view the following websites which provide up-to-date travel health information:

When to book? 

We advise that you start your vaccines well in advance as vaccination provides years of immunity, but it could cost you dearly if you do not leave enough time to get covered.

You should contact us at least 8-10 weeks prior to travel. We will then tailor an individualised travel vaccination schedule suitable to your requirements.

However, for some short-stay trips with simple itineraries (e.g. 2 weeks in one country), ensuring you have your vaccines at least 2 weeks before travel may be sufficient.

When you initially contact the clinic you will be directed to our travel vaccination questionnaire (LINK). A member of our travel medicine team will subsequently speak with you by phone to further discuss your itinerary and vaccine requirements. Once your individualised regime has been planned you will then attend for a travel consultation which will take approximately 30 minutes so please allow enough time in your day for this when booking.

What will it cost?

The cost of our standard vaccines and vaccination packages are listed in our price list.

You will be provided with a quote for your full vaccination schedule prior to attending for your travel consultation.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not charge a consultation fee on top of these vaccine costs.
