Planning an overseas trip? Whether you’re heading to Asia, Africa, South America, or the Pacific Islands, protecting your health with the right travel vaccinations is essential. At My Doctors Clinic Surfers Paradise, our experienced GPs provide comprehensive travel medicine consultations and vaccinations tailored to your destination.
Why Travel Vaccinations Are Important
International travel can expose you to diseases not commonly found in Australia. Some are serious — and preventable with the right vaccines. A quick consultation before you fly can:
- Reduce your risk of catching infectious diseases.
- Provide you with official vaccination certificates (such as Yellow Fever, required in many countries).
- Give you peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
Our clinic offers travel vaccinations in Surfers Paradise, conveniently located in the heart of the Gold Coast.
Common Travel Vaccinations We Provide
Our GPs will recommend vaccines based on your destination, trip length, planned activities, and health status. Some of the most common include:
- Yellow Fever – Required for entry into certain parts of Africa and South America. We are an authorised Yellow Fever vaccination centre.
- Hepatitis A & B – Protects against infections often spread through food, water, or blood contact.
- Typhoid – Recommended for travel to Asia, Africa, Central and South America.
- Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis (Whooping Cough) – Important boosters if you haven’t had a recent update.
- Influenza – Seasonal flu protection is recommended, especially for international flights.
- Rabies – For extended stays in rural areas or countries with high stray animal populations.
- Japanese Encephalitis – Important for travellers to parts of Asia, particularly if spending long periods outdoors or in rural areas.
When Should You Book Your Travel Vaccination Appointment?
We recommend booking your consultation 6–8 weeks before departure. This allows enough time for:
- Multiple doses (some vaccines require more than one injection).
- Your body to build full immunity.
- Last-minute travellers are still welcome. Even a single appointment before you fly can make a big difference.
