ABOUT CITYDOC
The Essential Travel Vaccination Package
-(Hepatitis A/Typhoid and Diptheria/Tetanus/polio)
Hepatitis A
A viral illness, which causes inflammation of the liver (hepatitis). Generally the majority affected, but a small number can develop acute live failure (typically the elderly). Travellers are commonly infected when they eat contaminated food/water.
Age range | Number of doses | Interval Between doses | Booster Requirement |
---|---|---|---|
From 1 year of age | 2 doses | 6-12 months | Booster required after 25 years for ongoing risk |
Typhoid
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection transmitted when travellers eat contaminated food or water. It is most commonly seen in developing countries with poor sanitation.
Age range | Method of Administration | Number of doses |
---|---|---|
From 2 years of age | Intramuscular injection to the deltoid muscle | 1 dose |
Diphtheria/Tetanus/polio
Tetanus is a serious infection caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani’s spores, which are found in soil and animal manure. These spores gain entry through weak points such as abrasions or minor cuts. Infection can lead to severe damage to the nervous system pathways. Tetanus spores are widespread across the world but certain countries are considered at higher risk.
Yellow Fever Vaccine
Yellow fever
The yellow fever inoculation contains a live, but weakened version of the virus, which confers immunity for LIFE.
Since July 2016, the yellow fever vaccination certificate is recognised by the WHO, as valid for “the life of the traveller”.
Inclusion Criteria
The yellow fever jab can be given to clients from 9 months of age who are travelling to a country with risk.
Additionally, the vaccination may be a mandatory entry requirement where:
- the country has a high risk of of the condition and requires all visitors on entry to provide a yellow fever certificate
- the country does not have yellow fever , but has potential to establish the infection due to the presence of the required type of mosquito (and monkey) population needed for the virus to establish there. In this circumstance, the yellow fever certificate is only required if you are arriving from a recognised yellow fever country.
Vaccine Schedule
Age | Method of Administration | Number of Doses |
---|---|---|
From 9 months of age | Subcutaneous injection to the thigh or deltoid region of the upper arm | 1 |
Booster Doses
A single dose of the vaccine confers protection for life.
