Travel Health Advice
Another service offered to you at your GP surgery (primary care practice) is advice and immunisation before you go to another country. While you are likely to have the immunisations needed to live in New Zealand, there may be other injections you need to protect yourself before going for example to Africa or South America. In some places you will need protection from rabies or malaria. Yellow fever vaccinations are only available at approved centres; please click here to view the centres in New Zealand. Your doctor will be able to tell you what diseases you will need to be protected from in any named country and advise you on other medical matters.
Doctor Craig Pelvin at Dunedin North Medical Centre is an authorised Yellow Fever vaccinator.
World Health Organisation guidelines recommend that travellers visit their health professional 6-8 weeks prior to departure. This allows time to properly consider any possible health risks associated with the places they are visiting, the activities planned, or their underlying health. It also allows the necessary time for vaccination schedules to be completed as some vaccines require multiple doses at set intervals to give protection.
