We offer the full course and expert guidance to ensure maximum, long-term immunity:

- Advice on the crucial booster dose (6 to 12 months later) for up to 25 years of protection.
- Guidance on combining the vaccine with other essential travel vaccinations (e.g., Typhoid).

Book your first dose at least two weeks before travel for optimal immunity.

This vaccine is strongly recommended for almost all travellers visiting medium and high-risk areas, including:
- Holidaymakers to popular destinations in Africa, Asia (especially South Asia), and Central/South America.
- Individuals travelling to areas with variable or poor food and water hygiene standards.
- Frequent travellers who wish to establish long-term immunity for 25 years.
