Travel immunisation
What are immunisations and why are they necessary?
Immunisations are designed to help protect you against harmful infections that can potentially cause serious complications including death. Immunisation works by using the body’s natural defence mechanism, also known as the immune response, to build a resistance against specific diseases.
Some diseases that we can immunise you against at the UoM health service include tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria, polio, rabies, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, measles mumps and rubella, cholera, influenza and yellow fever.
Our doctors can assist by determining which vaccines you require before travelling to certain countries. Please bring your immunisation history with you to the appointment to ensure you receive all vaccines required. For further information and to see one of our doctors please make an appointment.
