Routine & Travel Vaccinations in Birmingham
At The Doctors Practice, we offer a comprehensive range of routine and travel vaccinations to meet your health needs. Whether you’re keeping up with essential immunisations or preparing for a trip abroad, our doctor-led services ensure safe, reliable, and convenient vaccination care.
Our clinic in Edgbaston provides both routine and travel vaccinations, ensuring you stay up-to-date on essential immunisations for overall health and well-being. Our routine vaccinations include the flu vaccine, childhood immunisations, and adult vaccines for shingles, pneumonia, and whooping cough. We also offer personalised travel vaccination consultations to help you protect yourself from region-specific diseases, including Hepatitis A & B, typhoid, rabies, and Japanese encephalitis. With our flexible scheduling options, including daily appointments until 11 PM, it’s easy to get the vaccines you need for yourself and your family.
Our experienced doctors provide personalised consultations to determine the necessary vaccines based on your health history, planned activities, and travel destination. For travel vaccinations, we recommend scheduling your consultation at least 4-6 weeks before departure to ensure optimal immunity. Our complete vaccination services support long-term health, from immunisations for daily protection to pre-travel prevention.
