Winter Sun Getaways – Essential Travel Vaccinations Before You Fly

While the UK cools down, many travellers are heading abroad in search of sunshine. Whether you’re escaping to Dubai, Thailand, Canary Islands, or the Caribbean, your health shouldn’t take a holiday.

At Lichfield Travel Clinic, we make sure you’re protected before your trip — with expert travel vaccine advice, same-day appointments, and comprehensive travel health checks designed for your destination.


Why Winter Holidays Still Need Travel Vaccinations

Even if your destination feels safe, infectious diseases like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Rabies remain common in many winter-sun hotspots. Travel vaccines protect you from illnesses that can ruin your trip and cause long-term complications.

Our team provides tailored vaccine recommendations based on your:

  • Travel destination and duration

  • Planned activities (e.g. safari, rural stays, adventure trips)

  • Medical history and previous vaccinations
