Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?

Travel vaccinations protect you from infectious diseases that are common in certain parts of the world but rare in Singapore. Getting vaccinated reduces your risk of contracting these illnesses, which can be serious and may require costly medical treatment overseas.

Some vaccinations may also be mandatory for entry into specific countries, particularly for diseases such as Yellow Fever or Meningococcal disease. Travellers may be required to present official proof of vaccination before being allowed entry.

If you are unsure of your vaccination history, you may check through the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) or consult our doctors, who can assist in reviewing your records and recommend suitable vaccinations based on your travel plans.

When to Schedule Travel Vaccinations?

Travel vaccinations should be administered ideally at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure, as some require multiple doses or take time to become effective. However, certain vaccines can still be given closer to your travel date.

It is best to consult your doctor as early as possible to allow enough time for assessment, scheduling, and full protection before your trip.
