In the UK, most vaccinations can be given by the traveller's own doctor. Yellow fever vaccine can be given by some general practitioners, or this and other unusual vaccines can be obtained from the centres listed below. It is best to consult your own doctor before ringing any of the hospital-based clinics.
Vaccination requirements are listed in the Vaccinations Required chart. Please note these are only guidelines, as inoculations can change with new outbreaks of diseases, so please check with your own doctor or with a travel clinic as far in advance as possible.
