Travel vaccinations
Make sure you and your family are protected against preventable diseases when travelling overseas. Many popular destinations pose health risks that aren't present in New Zealand, from mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria and Japanese encephalitis to food and waterborne diseases.
Getting the right vaccinations and preventive medications before you travel can mean the difference between a memorable holiday and a medical emergency abroad.

What travel vaccinations might I need?
This depends on your destination, activities, length of stay and current vaccination status. Common travel vaccinations include Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis and Rabies.
