Travel Advice

 

At Central City Medical Centre we offer a full range of travel vaccinations at competitive prices and are an Approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.

 

If possible, it is important to come and see us 4-6 weeks prior to departure as the immunizations take a couple of weeks to be effective and some require multiple doses.
