Travel vaccinations
You should also arrange adequate medical insurance and if you are visiting an EU country you will need a “European Health Insurance Card” which is available from the Health Service Executive. Details can be found by clicking here.
Points to note:
- Personal hygiene is essential.
- Take a small first aid kit.
- Beware bites from insects and animals. Many diseases are insect-borne and rabies is widespread.
- Be careful with raw vegetables, salads, fruit, shellfish and ice-cubes.
- Respect the power of the sun and use sun creams regularly.
- Sexually transmitted diseases (including AIDS) are a major health threat throughout the world; condoms offer some protection.
- If you take anti-malarial tablets remember to follow the manufacturers instructions: e.g. “start one week before departure and continue for four weeks after your return”.
Travel vaccinations are not covered under the NHS.
If you are travelling very soon and need vaccinations urgently, these can be done privately through the Bristol Travel Clinic on 0330 100 4141. Please note there are other travel clinics available.
