Travel Vaccinations — Hillsborough, Auckland
Heading overseas? Make sure you’re protected before you go. Corner Pharmacy on Dominion Road Extension, Hillsborough offers travel vaccination advice and services to help you stay healthy wherever your journey takes you.
Whether you’re backpacking through Southeast Asia, heading on a safari, or visiting family abroad, the right vaccinations can make all the difference.
Why Travel Vaccinations Matter
Different countries carry different health risks — from tropical diseases to waterborne illnesses — that you may have little or no immunity to. Some vaccinations are recommended for your own protection, while others are required for entry into certain countries (such as Yellow Fever for parts of Africa and South America).
Getting vaccinated before you travel is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your health on the road.
Common Travel Vaccinations
Depending on your destination, duration of travel, and personal health history, vaccinations may include:
- Hepatitis A — recommended for most international travel, especially to developing regions
- Hepatitis B — recommended for longer trips or destinations with limited medical facilities
- Typhoid — for travel to areas with poor sanitation or food safety standards
- Yellow Fever — required for entry into certain countries in Africa and South America
- Japanese Encephalitis — for rural travel in parts of Asia
- Rabies — for adventure travel, rural areas, or destinations with limited post-exposure treatment
- Meningococcal — recommended for certain regions and required for Hajj pilgrimage
- Cholera — for travel to high-risk areas or humanitarian work
- Influenza — recommended year-round for international travellers
- COVID-19 — requirements vary by destination; check before you travel
This is not an exhaustive list — our team will tailor recommendations to your specific trip.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Our pharmacist will review your travel plans, destination(s), travel duration, and personal health history to recommend the right vaccinations for you. We’ll also advise on timing — some vaccines require multiple doses or need to be given weeks before departure, so it’s best to come in at least 6–8 weeks before you travel.
Don’t Forget Other Travel Health Essentials
Alongside vaccinations, our team can advise on other travel health needs, including:
- Malaria prevention medication
- Traveller’s diarrhoea treatment
- Altitude sickness medication
- Travel health kits and first aid supplies
