Travel Vaccines in Singapore

Travel vaccines protect against infections that are more common in certain destinations (e.g., Hepatitis A in parts of Asia, Yellow Fever in parts of Africa/South America). They lower the risk of severe illness, help meet country entry requirements, and protect vulnerable family members when you return.

Vaccine needs depend on your destination, itinerary (city vs rural), season, activities, length of stay, and personal medical history. Our Doctor will review these and recommend routine, required, and destination-specific vaccines (and malaria tablets if indicated).

Ideally 4–6 weeks before departure. Some vaccines need multiple doses or time to build immunity (e.g., Hepatitis A needs 2 weeks for protection; Japanese Encephalitis requires 2 doses 28 days apart; Yellow Fever certificates are valid from 10 days after vaccination). If you’re leaving sooner, come anyway, some protection is better than none.

Please bring your passport if you need vaccination certificates for vaccines such as yellow fever or meningitis. Any past vaccination records, itinerary (countries/cities/dates), list of medications/allergies, and prior lab/serology results if available.

Yes. Examples include Yellow Fever for certain African/South American countries and Meningococcal ACWY for Hajj/Umrah. Some destinations and schools also require proof of routine vaccines (e.g., MMR). Our Doctor will advise on current requirements and issue certificates where applicable.

It’s an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP) used to prove Yellow Fever vaccination at borders. Validity generally begins 10 days after vaccination and lasts for life for most travellers. Carry the original certificate with your passport.

For parts of Africa, South Asia, and South America, malaria prophylaxis may be recommended. Our Doctor will prescribe an appropriate regimen and advise on mosquito avoidance (repellent with DEET/icaridin, long sleeves, bed nets).

Yes, many inactivated and live vaccines can be co-administered at different injection sites. Our Doctor will plan the schedule to minimise side effects and meet timing/entry requirements.

We can arrange blood tests (serology) to check immunity for certain diseases (e.g., Hepatitis B, MMR) or restart/boost vaccine courses when documentation is missing. Our Doctor will advise the most practical option for your timeline.

Most travellers experience only mild effects such as arm soreness, low-grade fever, or fatigue for 1–3 days. Serious reactions are rare. Remain in the clinic for 15 minutes after vaccination and contact us if you have persistent or severe symptoms.

Precautions apply for pregnancy, immune-suppression, severe allergies (e.g., to vaccine components like eggs/gelatin), or acute illness. Live vaccines (e.g., Yellow Fever) may be contraindicated in some groups. Our Doctor will screen your eligibility and suggest alternatives when needed.

Many inactivated vaccines (e.g., Influenza) are safe and recommended in pregnancy. Some live vaccines are avoided. Our Doctor will tailor advice to your trimester, destination risks, and airline requirements.

Yes. Schedules and doses vary by age and vaccine. Our Doctor will review your child’s routine immunisations and add destination-specific protection if indicated.

Influenza strains change; an updated flu shot is recommended annually. Get it at least 2 weeks before travel, earlier if your trip spans local peak seasons at your destination.

Mild cold symptoms are usually fine. If you have a high fever or acute illness, vaccination may be postponed. Please inform our team on arrival.

No fasting is needed for vaccines. If you’re adding health screening blood tests (e.g., glucose/lipids), our team will advise whether fasting is required.

Yes. We issue official vaccination records and, where applicable, international certificates (e.g., Yellow Fever ICVP, Meningococcal ACWY certificate for Hajj/Umrah). Bring your passport for accurate documentation.

Typical schedules include Hepatitis A (0, 6 months), Hepatitis B (0, 1, 6 months), Typhoid (single injectable dose), Meningococcal ACWY (single dose, 5-year validity for Hajj), Japanese Encephalitis (0, 28 days), and Influenza (annual). Our Doctor will adjust timing to fit your departure date.

Yes. We can add serology (immunity checks), STI/HIV testing when relevant, altitude advice, traveller’s medication kits, motion-sickness guidance, and prescription standby medications (e.g., antibiotics where appropriate) based on destination risks.

Yes. We can coordinate group scheduling, vaccine stock, and consolidated documentation. Share your traveller list, destinations, and travel dates and we’ll plan the session efficiently.
