We provide comprehensive protection from tropical diseases
Contracting a disease on holiday may ruin your trip and have severe financial implications. Some diseases may also cause you to develop a long-term debilitating illness and may even be life-threatening. The protection needed for your trip will depend greatly on your planned destination and itinerary.
If you plan to travel to a country where exposure to disease is likely, or you intend to camp, stay in hotels or visit rural areas, you will probably need to be vaccinated.
Our current list of diseases we vaccinate against
Hepatitis A
A very common water-borne infection, this illness can, at best, ruin a holiday and at worst lead to hospitalisation
Japanese Encephalitis
A serious illness found in rural areas of South East Asia and Oceania, vaccination is very important for backpackers

Common in the grasslands of Central Europe, Northern Asia and as far as Japan, this vaccine is often overlooked but vital to keep you safe

Found evenly distributed across much of the Earth’s landmass, this is an essential vaccine
Rabies
Rabies vaccination is vital for longer stay travellers or those likely to come into contact with animals, particularly dogs, bats and apes
