Travel vaccination clinic in Carindale, ready to fly.
Our travel vaccination clinic in Carindale gets you ready for overseas trips with the vaccines your destination calls for. We check your immunisation history and catch up anything you've missed, along with flu and other routine doses.
Travel vaccines based on where you're going
The vaccines you need for travel depend on your destination, the length of your trip, what you’ll be doing and your health. A beach holiday in Bali might need hepatitis A and typhoid, while trekking in Nepal or working with animals could mean rabies or Japanese encephalitis vaccines too. Some countries in Africa and South America require proof of yellow fever vaccination.
At our travel vaccination clinic in Carindale, your GP reviews your itinerary, checks your routine vaccines are up to date and recommends the travel vaccines and medications that suit your trip. We’ll also talk about malaria prevention, food and water safety, insect bites and what to pack in a travel health kit.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ travel vaccination clinic inside Westfield Carindale recommends vaccines based on your destination, including hepatitis A, typhoid, rabies and Japanese encephalitis, plus routine boosters and malaria advice. Book six to eight weeks before you travel. Travel vaccines carry a cost, and Medicare rebates apply to consultations where eligible.
- Itinerary-based vaccine advice

Plan ahead before you fly from Brisbane
Many Carindale travellers fly out of Brisbane Airport, just a short drive up the Gateway Motorway. Booking your travel health appointment six to eight weeks before departure gives vaccines time to work and leaves room for courses that need more than one dose.
