• It is advisable to check the immunisations required by your destination as some countries would refuse entry if you do not meet their immunisation standards. Record all your vaccinations on an International Health Certificate (available from your travel clinic), to ensure ease of entry.
  • It is important to seek medical advice on immunisation at least 6 weeks before you travel, as some vaccinations need an initial shot followed by a booster. You may also need to leave several weeks between different immunisations.
  • Immunisations cost money, even for students, include them in your travel budget.
