Why Children Need Travel Vaccines

Children are often more vulnerable to infectious diseases than adults. Their immune systems are still developing, and in many cases, they haven't yet received full protection from routine UK vaccinations — let alone the additional vaccines required for international travel.

When travelling to destinations such as Africa, Asia, or South America, children may be exposed to serious illnesses such as:

• Typhoid

• Hepatitis A

• Yellow Fever

• Rabies

• Japanese Encephalitis

• Traveller’s diarrhoea and foodborne diseases

These diseases can cause severe illness in young children — and in some cases, long-term complications. That’s why it’s essential to book a professional travel health consultation well in advance of your trip.

Travel Vaccines for Children: What’s Typically Recommended?

The exact vaccines your child needs will depend on your travel destination, itinerary, and length of stay. Our clinicians will tailor a personalised vaccination plan based on this information.

Some of the most commonly recommended children’s travel vaccines include:

• Hepatitis A – spread via contaminated food and water

• Typhoid – especially important for regions with poor sanitation

• Yellow Fever – required for entry into some African and South American countries

• Rabies – crucial for children playing outdoors or around animals

• Japanese Encephalitis – for longer stays or rural travel in Asia

• Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio booster – often advised for older children

You can find current guidance on recommended vaccines for each country on the NHS Travel Vaccinations page.

When to Book Your Appointment

We recommend booking your child’s travel vaccination appointment at least 6–8 weeks before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses spaced out over time, and your child’s body needs time to build immunity.

Even if you’re travelling last-minute, we can still help. Our Epsom travel clinic offers rapid appointments, in-stock vaccines, and same-day availability where possible.
