Why Travel Vaccinations Matter

Planning a trip abroad is exciting. You think about flights, hotels, and places you want to visit. But have you thought about protecting your health before you travel? Many countries have diseases that are not common in the UK. Without the right vaccines, you could be at risk.

At Ash Vale Pharmacy & Travel Clinic in Aldershot, Surrey, pharmacist Romil Patel and his team are here to keep you safe. With our Yellow Fever accreditation, same-day travel jabs, and personal care, we make travel vaccinations easy and stress-free.

Whether you are off on a family holiday, business trip, pilgrimage, or backpacking adventure, our local travel clinic ensures you are ready to go.

What Are Travel Vaccinations?

Travel vaccinations are special jabs that protect you against infectious diseases found in other parts of the world. Many of these illnesses are rare in the UK but common abroad. Getting vaccinated not only keeps you safe but also ensures you meet entry requirements for certain countries.

Think of them as a safety net – while you’re exploring new destinations, you shouldn’t have to worry about avoidable health risks.

Before You Fly: Why Travel Vaccines Are So Important?

Travelling exposes you to new environments, climates, and health risks. Some vaccines are:

  • Required for entry into specific countries (e.g. Yellow Fever in parts of Africa and South America).

  • Strongly recommended for personal protection (e.g. Typhoid, Hepatitis A).

  • Advised for long-term stays or specific activities (e.g. Rabies for backpackers or Japanese Encephalitis for rural Asia).

Without the right vaccinations, you risk falling ill abroad, facing medical costs, or even being denied entry at border control.

• Mefloquine in select cases with counselling on suitability
