The importance of travel vaccinations
Travel vaccinations are specifically designed to protect travellers from various infectious diseases that may be prevalent where they visit, but are uncommon here in Australia.
Getting the appropriate travel vaccinations can significantly reduce the risk of contracting diseases while abroad, ensuring a safe, healthy and enjoyable travel experience.
It’s not uncommon to hear about Aussie travellers holed up in hotel rooms or getting admitted to foreign hospitals when abroad.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine which vaccines are recommended or required for your specific destination and itinerary.
Don’t let an amazing trip abroad turn into an expensive and painful stay in a hospital.
