Travel Immunisation

Some medical practitioners specialise in providing travel health advice and vaccinations for overseas travel. There are also companies that specialise in travel health advice and services. Travel health providers are listed in the Yellow PagesTM. Your travel agent may also recommend a travel health provider. Please note that only a government approved medical practitioner, or medical clinic, can provide you with a yellow fever vaccination.
