Vaccinations offer a very safe and effective preventive strategy against many infectious diseases, including those we could face when travelling. At REVIV, we offer a gold standard approach to vaccination, based on the latest studies around optimal vaccination schedules to protect your health.
Vaccinations are now more important than ever to help restore health and immunity. Click on the following link to access information about which vaccinations are required or recommended.
DPT is a trivalent vaccine that protects against diphtheria, polio, and tetanus. diphtheria is a disease that can cause long-term heart, lung, and neurological problems; polio is a neurological disease that can infect the spinal cord, resulting in paralysis; and tetanus, which enters the body through cuts or wounds, causes painful muscle stiffening. these diseases are potentially fatal and disabling, but they are also preventable; thus, immunisation is recommended.
Dosage & Instructions
DPT vaccines are routinely administered in a series of five vaccines during childhood. A single booster is sufficient every 10 years or before travel if immunisations are up to date.
Certificate
Immunisation record is highly suggested for proper dosing.
Protection
Most people experience long-term protection after finishing the course, but they should get a booster shot every 10 years to stay protected against tetanus.
Recommended For
Routine immunisation is recommended, as is travel vaccination for visits to high-risk areas.
Polio vaccine is effective in preventing the illness, which is a potentially fatal disease that can infect the spinal cord and cause paralysis. majority of people are immunised against polio as children.
Dosage & Instructions
High-risk adults that have never been vaccinated should receive 3 doses. The second dose should be given 1-2 months after the first, and the third dose should be given 6-12 months after the second. Adults who have been partially vaccinated can catch up at any time. Adults who have received all three doses can receive a one-time lifetime booster if they are at high risk.
Certificate
Immunisation record is highly suggested for proper dosing.
Protection
Most people experience long-term protection after completing the course.
Recommended For
Routine immunisation is recommended, as is travel vaccination for visits to high-risk areas.
The TDAP vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Tetanus enters the body through cuts or wounds, causing painful muscle stiffening and other potentially life threatening complications. Diptheria can cause long-term heart, lung, and neurological problems, and Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can cause severe respiratory illnesses, particularly in children. These diseases are potentially fatal and disabling, but they are also preventable; thus, immunisation is recommended.
Dosage & Instructions
Adults who have never received a TDAP dose should do so. Adults should also get a booster dose every ten years, or sooner in the case of a contaminated wound or burn.
Certificate
Immunisation record is not mandatory, but useful.
Protection
Vaccine protection lasts for 10 years on average, but a booster is recommended if there is a cut, burn, or contaminated exposure and the previous immunisation was more than 5 years ago.
Recommended For
Routine immunisation is recommended, as is travel vaccination for visits to high-risk areas.
The Hepatitis A vaccine protects against infection and liver damage caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). The disease is generally transmitted through contaminated food and water or from person to person. Hepatitis A is a serious disease that can cause permanent damage; however, it is also preventable with vaccination.
Dosage & Instructions
The Hepatitis A vaccine is administered in two doses, 6 months apart, and both must be completed for full protection. People who have only received partial vaccination should make up for the missed dose. A single dose of Hepatitis A vaccine may offer protection up to 2 weeks after exposure.
Certificate
Immunisation record is highly suggested for proper dosing.
Protection
Most people experience long-term protection after completing the course.
Recommended For
Routine immunisation is recommended, as is travel vaccination for visits to high-risk areas.
The Hepatitis B vaccine protects against infection and liver damage caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The disease is spread through body fluid contact or from person to person. Hepatitis B is a serious disease that can cause permanent damage; however, it is also preventable with vaccination.
Dosage & Instructions
The Hepatitis B vaccine is administered in a two- or three-shot series, depending on the preparation, with the first and second doses given at least 4 weeks apart. People who have only received partial vaccination should make up for the missed dose(s). A single dose of Hepatitis B vaccine may offer protection if administered 24 hours after exposure.
Certificate
Immunisation record is highly suggested for proper dosing.

Travel vaccination; not recommended for routine administration unless you live in an endemic area.
The HPV (Gardasil 9) vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus group of viruses, which are primarily transmitted during sexual intercourse. Persistent HPV infection can lead to cancer and genital warts. The vaccine protects against virus strains; however, barrier methods of protection are advised to prevent other diseases. Women should continue to have regular smear tests.
Dosage & Instructions
Adults with weakened immune systems or those under the age of 26 who have not received prior immunisation should receive three doses. The vaccine is less effective in people over the age of 26, and most people have already been exposed by then.
Certificate
Immunisation record is highly suggested for proper dosing.
Protection
Most people experience long-term protection after completing a 3-series course.
