Brazil Jabs in Medway: The Vaccines Most Travellers Will Need

Brazil travel vaccines vary; our pharmacist will confirm your specific needs during your personal appointment.

Hepatitis A

£50 per dose

Spread via contaminated food and water, Hepatitis A is recommended for all Brazil travellers, regardless of accommodation, whether in cities, beaches, or jungle lodges.

Typhoid

£50

Spread via contaminated food and water, Typhoid is relevant for all travellers, especially when eating outside tourist spots. We offer both injectable and oral vaccines.

DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio)

£50

A DTP booster is recommended if your last dose was over 10 years ago. Tetanus protection is vital for all outdoor and adventure activities.

// Recommended Vaccines

Additional Vaccines for Brazil Based on Your Itinerary

These vaccines are recommended based on your specific travel itinerary and length of stay.

Yellow Fever

£75

Strongly recommended for regions outside cities and mandatory if arriving from endemic countries. We are a certified clinic issuing certificates the same day you visit.

Rabies

£85 per dose

Rabies exists nationwide. We strongly recommend this vaccine if you’re visiting rural or jungle areas, interacting with animals, or travelling with children and families.

Hepatitis B

£50 per dose

Transmitted via blood or sexual contact. We recommend this for long-stay visitors, those needing medical care, or travellers who might have unprotected sexual contact while abroad.

Meningitis ACWY

£50

Recommended if visiting high-risk areas or attending large events. Large gatherings like Carnival increase transmission risks, so please discuss your specific itinerary with our clinicians.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Medway Travel Clinic for my rabies vaccine ahead of my trip to Thailand, and I couldn’t have asked for a better service. The clinic is in a really convenient location with easy parking, and booking an appointment was quick and hassle-free. The pharmacist prescriber was incredibly experienced and clearly very skilled at administering vaccines, the whole process was smooth and painless. They also took the time to explain everything in detail, which made me feel confident and well informed. I’d highly recommend Medway Travel Clinic to anyone preparing for travel.
