Stay healthy in your international travels
When travelling overseas from New Zealand, it is important to be vaccinated against common communicable diseases. Our professional doctors will give you the most up to date and correct advice based on your next destination.
While the centers for disease control identify many countries as safe, most have at least some risks of health problems and others may require a vaccine for entry.
Before making the final arrangements of your next trip, get in touch with us for the latest health information and let us guide you through the best way of taking care of yourself whilst abroad.
