The Consultation

When should I make an appointment?
Don't wait until the last moment. Schedule your appointment as soon as you know where you're going.
Short trip (< 3 months)
Schedule your appointment at least 4-6 weeks before departure. Almost all vaccinations work for a long time, so you can come well in advance.
Long trip (> 3 months)
Make your appointment at least 7 months before departure. Some vaccination schedules require multiple doses with intervals.
Last-minute trip
Can't make it in time? Come as soon as possible. Even then, vaccination still makes sense - many vaccines provide some protection quickly.
