Planning an overseas trip? At Singapore Women's Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of travel vaccinations for destinations across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America, and beyond.
Our clinics are conveniently located in Orchard, Tanjong Pagar, Jurong East, and Novena. Whether you are travelling as an individual or a family, our doctors can advise on your vaccination requirements. If you are a corporate group, we can also arrange onsite vaccinations on request.
Some travel vaccines need time to take effect, so it helps to plan ahead. Contact us for advice, or book your travel vaccination appointment today.
Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?
Travel vaccinations are important because they help protect you from infectious diseases that are common in certain parts of the world but rarely seen in Singapore. These illnesses can be serious and may need costly medical treatment overseas, so getting vaccinated before your trip can lower your risk.
Some countries also require certain vaccinations compulsory for entry, especially for yellow fever and meningococcal disease, and may ask you to show official proof of vaccination before letting you in.
The vaccines you need depend on where you are going. See our guide to travel vaccines by country for the vaccines advised at each destination, whether you need malaria tablets, and the certificate rules on arrival and when you return to Singapore.

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.
Travel Medical Kit
We also provide travel medical kits, curated by our doctors, to help you manage common travel issues such as diarrhoea, motion sickness, and minor injuries. Each kit is compact and cabin-friendly.
- $48 for the basic kit
- $68 for the kit with additional first aid items
No appointment is required. You may walk in to purchase the kit during clinic hours.
