Vaccinations
Travel Vaccinations
It is best to plan for vaccinations at least 8 weeks prior to travel, as some vaccinations are administered in stages. Also, most vaccines take a number of weeks to become effective. This limits their usefulness if administered immediately prior to travel.
The free UK website FIT FOR TRAVEL will provide you with some general information on the countries you intend to visit.
When booking you will be asked to list your destinations in the order that you plan to visit them.
SEASONAL FLU VACCINATIONS
Annual Flu Vaccinations are available typically from October to April. We regularly post updates on our Facebook page on upcoming vaccine clinics.

Flu vaccination is free to HSE defined eligible groups and those with medical cards.
