What to Expect

During your visit, you will receive individualised counselling and recommendations for necessary vaccinations or chemoprophylaxis (e.g. anti-malarials). If you do receive vaccinations, we will observe you for 20 minutes post vaccination for immediate reactions. You will receive an official vaccination certificate before leaving, and we will reschedule any required follow-up appointments for booster doses.

Planning Your Visit

For travel-related consultation and vaccinations, we recommend booking your appointment at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure to allow sufficient time for completing vaccination courses that may require multiple doses. Please bring any existing vaccination records to your appointment to help us provide the most accurate recommendations. The NUH THVC ensures your family receives expert care and protection, giving you confidence as you travel the world.
