Planning a trip abroad in 2026? Whether you’re travelling for business, safari, backpacking through Southeast Asia, or attending Hajj or Umrah, making sure your travel vaccinations are up to date is essential.
At our travel clinic in Tower Hill, Central London, we provide same-day travel vaccines, yellow fever certification, malaria tablets, and last-minute appointments for travellers flying at short notice. Conveniently located near Tower Bridge and St Katharine Docks, we support both corporate and leisure travellers across the City, Wapping and Canary Wharf.
Here’s everything you need to know before you travel.
Why Travel Vaccines Matter More in 2026
Global travel has surged again, and with it, the spread of mosquito-borne and food-borne illnesses. Cases of:
Dengue fever
Yellow fever
Malaria
have increased across parts of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Many countries now strictly enforce entry requirements for proof of vaccination, particularly for yellow fever. Immigration officials may request an International Certificate of Vaccination on arrival – and without it, entry can be denied.
Travel health isn’t optional. It’s risk management.
Most Common Travel Vaccines We Provide in Central London
Depending on your destination, activities, and medical history, you may require:
Hepatitis A vaccine – Recommended for most long-haul destinations. Spread through contaminated food and water.
Typhoid vaccine – Essential for South Asia, parts of Africa and Latin America.
Rabies vaccine – Advised for long stays, rural travel, animal exposure risk.
Yellow fever vaccine – Mandatory for certain African and South American countries.
Japanese encephalitis vaccine – For rural Asia travel or extended stays.
Cholera vaccine – Recommended for high-risk regions or humanitarian travel.
We also provide malaria prevention tablets tailored to resistance patterns in your destination.
Do You Need a Yellow Fever Certificate?
Yellow fever vaccination is regulated internationally under guidance from the World Health Organization.
Key facts:
The certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.
It is now valid for life.
Some countries require proof even for short airport transits.
Entry can be refused without documentation.
Our clinic is a registered yellow fever vaccination centre in Central London and can issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination.
If you’re travelling to Tanzania, Ghana, Brazil, Kenya, or transiting through endemic countries, this is not something to leave until the last minute.

One of the most common questions we get:
“I’m flying in 3 days. Is it too late?”
