Consultations:
Dr Chris Oh, Dr Duc Tran and Dr Ben Teoh are available to provide pre and post-travel consultations.
Our Doctors will take into account your travel itinerary, style of accomodation, activites while travelling, past medical history, allergies and a range of other factors, and recommend the appropriate and necessary vaccinations and/or medications required for your trip.
Our Doctors will provide individual medical advice on international health risks on a location by location basis, provide a full range of vaccinations on-site, as well as assess malaria risk and advise on strategies to prevent other insect-borne diseases.
Mid-Town Medical Clinic is a Department of Health Services approved Yellow Fever vaccination centre.
Please allow 30 - 45 minutes for your consultation and please bring with you;
* Your travel itinerary

Please note that if you are travelling for long periods and through multiple countries it is often necessary to have more than one consultation.
Depending on the complexity and length of your travel consultation, the fee will range between $60 and $125, in addition to vaccination costs. Please note that most travel consultations generally require a long (30 minute) appointment.
