Travel Vaccination

Travel Vaccination is available at Aster Medical Centre. The clinic offers a broad range of vaccinations and provides pre- and post-travel counseling. If you are planning a trip overseas, it is ideal that you set up an appointment 4 to 6 weeks before your planned departure date. Most vaccines take time to become effective and some vaccines must be given in a series and will offer you protection only after 2 to 3 doses.
