Christmas & New Year Travel: Your Last Call for Vaccinations Before You Fly

Christmas & New Year Travel: Your Last Call for Vaccinations Before You Fly

December is always lively at the clinic. People heading to see family abroad, couples escaping to warmer weather, university students returning home – almost everyone has the same question:

“Is it too late to sort my vaccines?”

In many cases, it isn’t.
A surprisingly large number of travel vaccines still offer meaningful benefit close to the travel date, following clinical assessment.

Who typically visits us in December

Vaccines that still help even late in the month

After clinical assessment, travellers may still receive:
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid
• Yellow Fever (if required)
• Tetanus booster (if due)

For destinations with malaria risk, we can discuss and supply malaria tablets if suitable.

Why December requires extra attention

Holiday travel often includes:
• long-haul flights
• large family gatherings
• multiple airports
• unexpected stopovers
• crowds and closed clinics abroad

Sorting travel health in Ealing – before the rush – is far easier than realising something is missing while travelling.

Advice that fits your exact plans

Travel health isn’t “one-size-fits-all”.
A resort break in Dubai, a trek in Sri Lanka and a family trip to Mumbai each involve different considerations.

A quick consultation at Northfields Travel Clinic gives you personalised guidance so you can enjoy your holiday with confidence.

Vaccinations and malaria tablets are provided after clinical assessment.
