Why do I need a consultation?
It is difficult to say which vaccines you need without asking a medical professional. Your itinerary, your medical history and the activities you have planned all affect which vaccinations you need. It is important that a trained travel nurse or pharmacist checks what you need.
Exactly the travel vaccinations you need - no more, no less.
During your consultation, our nurse or pharmacist will talk you through the health risks at your travel destinations to check which vaccines you need. If a vaccine is not essential, we will explain your options so you can decide whether you would like to have it.
Malaria
Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. You cannot be vaccinated against malaria.
Malaria Precautions
There is low-to-very low risk of malaria in all areas of Malaysia. Anti-malarial medication is not recommended for most travellers, but you should be aware of the risk and practise insect bite avoidance such as insect repellent with at least 20% DEET. In exceptional circumstances anti-malarials may be recommended for people travelling to low risk areas – talk to our nurse or pharmacist about whether this applies to you.
