The vaccinations or medicines you’ll need for travel will vary depending on where you’re travelling. There’s a full list of countries where you can find out more about any entry and vaccination requirements on the government website.
This will depend on where you’re travelling and how many doses you need to be fully vaccinated for travel. For example, some countries will require you to have multiple doses of a vaccination over several months before your trip. It’s best to plan your travel vaccinations in early to make sure there’s enough time for them to become effective. You can find out more about foreign travel advice on the government website or speak to your local Well pharmacist.
