Private Travel Vaccinations in Birmingham
When travelling abroad, certain vaccinations are essential to protect yourself against infectious diseases that may not be present or common in the UK. Potential travel-related illnesses, such as yellow fever, typhoid and rabies are not included in routine childhood immunisations because the diseases aren’t widespread in your country. For example, if you’re planning to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary, a rabies vaccination may be recommended due to potential exposure to infected animals.
Getting travel vaccines through the NHS can be inconsistent, as not all GP surgeries offer travel vaccinations and many essential ones aren’t available free of charge. That’s why private medical practices such as The Oakley Medical Practice provide fast and expert-led access to the vaccinations you need to travel.

FAQs
When you travel abroad, you may be exposed to viruses and bacteria that you have no immunity to that may cause serious infections. Travel vaccinations help you build immunity before you come into contact with foreign diseases and ensure you don’t fall seriously ill.
We recommend that you have your travel vaccinations 6-8 weeks before travelling abroad. This gives your body enough time to develop immunity and ensure the vaccine is fully effective.
You will need different vaccinations depending on the country you plan to travel to. At Oakley Medical, we can recommend the vaccines you need to ensure you’re fully protected. Simply come to our office for a consultation, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Some vaccinations have age restrictions, despite all being generally safe for small children and babies. It’s best to have a consultation well in advance so you know what your options are.
