How your travel clinic appointment in Cardiff works
-
Book your free consultation
Book online for a face-to-face or telephone consultation. If you are travelling soon, call us first so we can discuss your plans.
-
Tell us about your trip
We go through your destinations, dates, activities, previous vaccinations and medical history.
-
Review your individual risks
We explain which vaccines and medicines are recommended, how many doses you need and the total cost.
-
Vaccination where appropriate
Vaccines are given at a time that suits you, with aftercare advice and any follow-up doses booked in.
When should you book travel vaccinations?
Ideally contact us 6 to 12 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines need more than one dose or time to become fully effective: for example, typhoid should be given at least 2 weeks before travel, and a rabies course usually needs to start at least 4 weeks before departure.
6 to 12 weeks before
The best time to start, so multi-dose courses can be completed.
Less than 6 weeks
Still worth booking. Many vaccines can be given at shorter notice.
Leaving very soon?
Call 02920 777026. Same-day or next-day appointments are often possible.
Travel vaccine prices – Travel Clinic Cardiff
All prices are per dose. The number of doses depends on your destination, medical history and travel plans. Your consultation will confirm the full cost of your course.
Prices may vary with supplier costs at the time of booking. Malaria tablets are priced at consultation.
Important suitability and safety information
Tell us before vaccination if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a weakened immune system, have had a severe reaction to a vaccine before, or have a high temperature. After travel, seek urgent medical advice if you develop:
- A fever or flu-like illness, especially after visiting a malaria area – even months later
- Severe diarrhoea, vomiting or signs of dehydration
- An animal bite or scratch abroad, even if you were vaccinated against rabies
Use NHS 111 Wales for urgent advice when the problem is not life-threatening, or call 999 in an emergency.
