Worcester Travel Clinic – Trusted Travel Health Experts for a Safe Summer Abroad
As summer 2025 approaches, many of us are looking forward to a much-needed break — whether it’s exploring ancient temples in Southeast Asia, going on safari in Africa, or taking a road trip across South America. But before you pack your bags, it’s important to make sure your travel vaccines are up to date.
At Worcester Travel Clinic, we help travellers prepare for their trips with clear advice, quick access to vaccinations, and friendly, professional care. Here’s your summer travel vaccine checklist, designed to help you stay healthy and stress-free wherever your adventures take you.
🌎 Popular Summer Destinations & What Vaccines You Might Need
Your vaccine requirements depend on where you’re going, how long you’ll stay, and what activities you’ll be doing. Below is a helpful guide for some of the most popular destinations in 2025:
🇹🇭 Asia (e.g. Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka)
- Typhoid – food and water-borne illness risk
- Hepatitis A – highly recommended
- Hepatitis B – important for long stays or medical treatment abroad
- Rabies – especially if you’ll be around animals or off-grid
- Japanese Encephalitis – for rural areas or long visits
- Tetanus booster – if not had in the past 10 years
🇰🇪 Africa (e.g. Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria)
- Yellow Fever – required for many countries
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A & B

📅 When Should You Book Your Travel Vaccines?
Ideally, you should schedule your pre-travel consultation 4–6 weeks before departure. This allows time to:
- Complete multi-dose vaccinations
- Ensure full immunity before you fly
- Discuss your itinerary and get tailored advice
However, if you’re leaving sooner, we can still help! Worcester Travel Clinic offers last-minute appointments and can prioritise the most important vaccines based on your travel plans.
🤔 What Are the Common Side Effects?
Most travel vaccines have mild and short-lived side effects, including:
- A sore arm at the injection site
- Tiredness
- Mild headache or low-grade fever
Our experienced team will walk you through what to expect and answer any concerns during your consultation.
🦟 Don’t Forget Malaria Prevention
If your summer travels include time in tropical or rural areas (especially in Africa, Asia, or parts of Central/South America), you may also need malaria tablets.
We’ll help you:
- Choose the right antimalarial for your destination
- Provide tips on avoiding mosquito bites
- Understand when and how to take your tablets
