  1. What’s the Di?erence Between Routine Vaccines and Travel Jabs? When it comes to protecting your health, vaccines play a vital role. While most people are familiar with routine vaccines, many don’t realise that travel jabs are just as important— especially if you’re planning a trip abroad. Understanding the difference between the two can help you make informed decisions about your health and ensure you’re fully protected at home and while travelling.

  2. What Are Routine Vaccines? Routine vaccines are the standard immunisations recommended for everyone at certain ages. They are designed to protect you against diseases that are common or could easily spread within your own country. Examples of Routine Vaccines: MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio (Tdap/Td) Hepatitis B HPV vaccine Seasonal flu jab These vaccinations are usually given through the NHS in the UK, either during childhood or at specific stages of adulthood. They form the foundation of your long-term immunity. What Are Travel Jabs? Unlike routine vaccines, travel jabs are designed specifically for protection against diseases that are more common in certain parts of the world. If you’re travelling abroad, especially to countries in Africa, Asia, or South America, you may be at risk of infections that are not present in the UK. Common Travel Jabs Include: Yellow Fever Typhoid Hepatitis A Rabies Japanese Encephalitis These vaccinations are not always available for free on the NHS and often need to be booked at a travel vaccination clinic.
