Get the Pneumococcal Vaccine: Protect Against Severe Illness Abroad
Pneumococcal disease is a global threat, and contracting it in a country with limited medical facilities can be life-threatening. Vaccination is a key proactive step for vulnerable travellers, providing effective, long-term immunity against the most common strains.
Vaccination Overview
What Your Pneumococcal Vaccination Appointment Includes
We provide the specific vaccine (PCV13 or PPV23) most suited to your risk profile:
- A clinical risk assessment to determine your suitability and the type of vaccine required (e.g., a single dose for most adults).
- Administration of the certified Pneumococcal vaccine.
- Advice on the lifelong protection offered by a single dose for most healthy adults over 65.
- Guidance on why the vaccine is particularly important when travelling to high-altitude or polluted environments.
- Counselling on recognising the symptoms of severe respiratory or systemic infection.
A single dose can provide long-term protection against severe bacterial disease.
Patient Suitability

The Pneumococcal vaccine is strongly recommended for high-risk groups, including:
- Adults aged 65 and over, who are naturally at higher risk of severe pneumococcal disease.
- Individuals with chronic health conditions (e.g., heart, lung, or kidney disease, diabetes).
- Travellers with a compromised immune system (due to illness or medication).
- Anyone with a non-functioning or removed spleen.
