If you have already made an appointment to see our travel doctor, then please read this page as it will make your visit easier to understand when discussing travel vaccinations 

  • We stock all vaccines, including the yellow fever  vaccine (costs $85)
  • If you are unsure of what vaccines you may have had in the past or lost your vaccine records or plunket book, we can request a blood test to test for immunity.
  • Our travel doctor will advise you on the vaccines necessary depending on you, your health, your trip and your activities.
  • We only give you what you really need; we minimise your pain and expense by tailoring your immunisations for you, your health and your trip.
  • We will offer you combination vaccines where possible (ie. one injection with several vaccines)
  • Please don't commit to a course of vaccinations if you cannot complete eg hepatitis A or B
  • It is important to be up-to-date with your usual routine vaccinations eg tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B (~ 110 000 have chronic hepatitis B in NZ), measles, chicken pox and others.
  • Recommended vaccines vary for different countries, and you will be advised by the travel doctor
  • Hepatitis A is the most commonly recommended vaccine, followed by typhoid, rabies, and the oral E.Coli vaccine (for travellers diarrhoea).
  • Hepatitis A (adult dose) is $95 and the the combination Hepatitis A+B is $95
  • Vaccine costs vary in price from $25 to as high as over $200 for specialised vaccines like Japanese Encephalitis
  • Some vaccines appear expensive but give you long term to lifelong immunity eg rabies, hepatitis A+B
