Incredible service – so helpful
Excellent service! Chazile went above and beyond to prepare me for my travels to south east Asia. Very kind, sharp and added helpful bits of information that will be useful during my travels. Even created a vaccine booklet for me that I asked for to keep track of my vaccines for the future. Highly recommended The London Vaccination Clinic. Thanks again Chazile 🙂 Nick
Travel Vaccinations for Russia
The table below provides a general guide as to the Travel Vaccinations that may be advised to you for travel to Russia
Just thinking of a visit to Russia conjures up images of vast expanses of frozen tundra, the Ural mountains, scenes from Dr. Zhivago, the gleaming onion domes of St. Basil’s, the Kremlin, and romantic St. Petersburg. Of course no visitor to Russia would want to miss strolling through the unsurpassed Hermitage Museum, or getting to know lovely St. Petersburg with its restored palaces and architectural wonders. Learn more about the people and history of Russia’s heartland with a visit to the Volga region, where along the banks of the Volga, Europe’s longest river, you will find a lush natural environment for boating, bathing and hiking. And, take in the lighter side of Moscow at famous Gorky Park, which runs 3km along the Moscow River, offering an escape from the rush of the city, and has an old carousel and amusement park. Witness the beauty of fabled Russian icons and pre-revolutionary art at the Tretyakov Museum. Remember that your first stop on your way to Russia should be a visit to our Travel Health Clinic, four to eight weeks before departure, so that you will be completely safe and up-to-date with the Vaccinations you need for Russia.

Advice for Travellers to all Destinations
The Vaccinations and Medications that are needed for travel vary from person-to-person. Everyone should have a personal risk assessment with a travel health professional to take into account a range of factors such as itinerary, medical condition, occupational and lifestyle risk factors and previous vaccination history.
All Travellers
All Travellers should ensure that they are up-to-date with Routine Vaccinations including Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio and Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
Most Travellers
Most travellers will also need to consider a course or booster of Hepatitis A and Typhoid as there is a risk of these diseases across most parts of the world.
Some Travellers
Some Travellers may also be advised additional vaccinations such as Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis and Hepatitis B based on their individual risk assessment.

Travel vacines
Attended a consultation for travel vacines, the nurse explained everything with care, provided good advice. We then add a follow up consultation with a different nurse for the vaccines and was also very kind and professional. Was very impressed, we did not feel pressured to have more vacines then reasonable and both nurses gave pricing information upfront.

Very positive experience
Really easy to book and the nurse who I saw in Liverpool Street was really kind and helpful. She went through my vaccination history, what I needed for my trip and explained everything I needed to know ahead of administrating the vaccine I needed.
I am glad I arrived early as the venue was tricky to find as the name of the building has changed so doesn’t match Google maps. Put me in a slight panic as I thought I was going to miss my appointment but I found it in the end!

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside…
My nurse was a beautiful soul inside and out. I have a fear of needles and she was so patient and reassuring from beginning to end. She asked me questions, helped me to relax and made me feel like an individual rather than just someone on the list for the day.

Further Travel Health Advice for Russia
Heat is not a factor in Russia, except in summer at the Black Sea and in some areas of the Steppes, where you should use sun block, even if the sun doesn’t feel that hot. Always carry water with you wherever you go, and replenish fluids throughout the day, whether on walking tours through metropolitan areas, or on nature hikes.
The tap water across Russia, and even in large cities, is not safe to drink. However, bottled water is widely available and should be used to brush your teeth. Your hotel clerk or concierge might advise you on the best brands.
Apart from the vast cultural experience, and the enormity of Russia’s history, the best part of your visit could well be the food. Because of the cold climate and harsh winters, the normal Russian diet consists largely of high protein ingredients, such as fish, eggs, beef, with potatoes being a main staple. But this is also the land that gave us Beef Stroganov, Goulash, Veal Orlov, Caviar with Blinis and sour cream, and Coulibiac, which is a melt-in-the-mouth salmon or sturgeon loaf with rice, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms and dill. And never under-estimate the importance of a Russian dessert. Fanciful pastries, filled with cheese or sour cream, pancakes baked with jam, and cakes layered with Latvian rye bread are just a few of the delights that are prepared for the daily tea service. And of course Russia produces some of the world’s very best vodka, a natural accompaniment to your caviar or other hors d’oeuvres.
Should you require health care in Russia, there are hospitals, both public and private, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but outside these cities, the quality and availability of medical care can be limited. There is a reciprocal agreement in place for U.K. citizens, however services might be limited, so it is important that you arrange in advance to have enough money with you to pay for any health care you might need.
Protect yourself, and your family, with comprehensive travel health insurance which will cover your intended itinerary and any potentially risky activities.
If you are with a tour guide, and travelling in a group, there should be no concerns, as long as you are not carrying large amounts of money, especially in Moscow or parts of St. Petersburg. Russian people are generally very friendly, but avoid talking to strange people, and do not walk alone at night.
