Cholera Vaccination
Cholera is transmitted by drinking contaminated water or eating food contaminated by faeces, such a shellfish. Person to person contact can occur where there is poor hygiene. The cholera vaccine is safe and effective vaccine for those who at increased risk of contracting this potentially life threatening illness.
Diphtheria Tetanus Polio (DTP) Vaccination
Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio can be effectively immunised against through the three-in-one DTP vaccine. These illnesses have been associated with significant health complications and, in severe cases, can lead to fatalities.
Hepatitis B Vaccination
Hepatitis B is a highly transmissible infection that can result in liver failure and cancer. Fortunately, safeguarding oneself from this infection is achievable through the Hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccine is especially crucial for individuals with HIV and other autoimmune diseases.
Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination
Japanese encephalitis is a potentially fatal viral infection affecting the brain, transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito. As there is no specific cure for the disease, vaccination is recommended.
Rabies Vaccination
Rabies is a deadly viral infection affecting the nervous system, transmitted through bites. With rapid progression, symptoms include fever, aggression and paralysis, leading to near-certain fatality.
Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccination
Tick-borne encephalitis results in a serious infection of the central nervous system, affecting both the brain and spinal cord, potentially leading to complications such as meningitis. Individuals travelling to countries with a risk of TBE should contemplate getting vaccinated.
Meningitis ACWY Vaccination
Guard yourself against four varieties of meningococcal bacteria, known to trigger meningitis and septicemia. Strongly advised for individuals on the verge of commencing university and for those embarking on international travel.
Meningitis B Vaccine
Meningitis B is a life threatening infection of the protective membranes that surround the spinal cord (meninges) and the brain. It is most common in babies, young children, teenagers and young adults but can affect anyone.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow Fever is a potentially lethal illness transmitted by mosquitoes. It can be prevented through a single vaccine that provides lifelong protection. The Yellow Fever vaccine is exclusively available at certified vaccination clinics.
Dengue Fever Vaccination
Dengue fever is a serious viral infection transmitted through bites from (day feeding) Aedes mosquitoes carrying the virus. QDenga is an innovative travel vaccine designed to prevent dengue fever.
