Whether your overseas getaway involves five-star comfort, or being far off the beaten track, or anywhere in between, Travelling Well is your invaluable travelling companion. No book can tell you exactly what you need for any particular country or trip.

Information changes constantly, vaccination requirements vary depending on your past health and previous vaccination history, what you will be doing while you are away, and what part of a particular country you will be visiting. These issues must be addressed by an experienced travel medicine professional.
