How Vaccines Work
Vaccines work by stimulating the body’s immune system to produce protective antibodies against a specific pathogen. This helps to prevent or reduce the severity of the illness if you are exposed to it. By getting vaccinated, travellers can reduce their risk of contracting and spreading diseases, thereby protecting not only themselves but their families and communities as well.
The length of time it takes to become fully vaccinated can vary depending on the specific vaccine and number of doses required. Some vaccines require booster shots to maintain immunity, while others provide long-term protection. For the timely and appropriate delivery of necessary vaccines and pre-travel health advice, we strongly recommend consulting with our medical professionals well in advance of your travel plans.
