Different destinations present different health risks. Depending on where you are travelling, your itinerary and planned activities, you may need specific vaccinations, malaria prevention advice or guidance on avoiding travel-related illnesses.

A pre-travel health consultation with Trinity Medical Group helps you understand the health risks relevant to your trip and prepare for them before departure.

A pre-travel health assessment takes into account your destination, travel itinerary, duration of stay, planned activities and relevant medical history.

Depending on your circumstances, the consultation may cover:

• Recommended travel vaccinations.
• Prevention of infectious diseases, including malaria where relevant.
• Non-infectious travel-related health risks, such as altitude sickness.
• Precautions to reduce the risk of illness during your trip.
• Advice on managing common travel-related illnesses and when to seek medical attention.

Recommendations are tailored to your travel plans and individual health needs.

Trinity Medical Group offers a range of vaccinations that may be relevant to international travel, including yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, cholera, meningococcal meningitis, influenza, COVID-19, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, MMR, polio and other vaccines where appropriate.

Not every traveller needs every vaccine. The appropriate vaccinations depend on your destination, itinerary, previous vaccination history, medical conditions and applicable entry requirements. Please confirm vaccine availability when making an appointment.

Trinity Medical Group provides yellow fever vaccination in Singapore as part of our travel health services.

Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease found in certain parts of Africa and South America. Vaccination may be recommended to protect travellers against infection and may be required for entry into certain countries.

Our doctors can assess your destination, travel itinerary and medical history to advise whether yellow fever vaccination is appropriate. If you require proof of vaccination for international travel, Trinity can also issue the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), subject to the applicable requirements.

Travellers should arrange vaccination well in advance, ideally at least 10 days before arrival at a destination where vaccination is required.

The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is an internationally recognised vaccination document used to record certain vaccinations, including yellow fever vaccination. It is commonly known as the yellow fever vaccination certificate.

Trinity Medical Group can issue an ICVP for eligible travellers following the relevant vaccination and documentation procedures.

Some countries require travellers to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate depending on their destination, countries previously visited and transit arrangements. Check the entry requirements for your destination before departure, and bring your existing vaccination records if you have been vaccinated previously.

Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination from travellers arriving from, or in certain circumstances transiting through, countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission.

Singapore also has yellow fever vaccination certificate requirements for certain travellers arriving from countries at risk of yellow fever transmission. Requirements may depend on your travel history and transit arrangements.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate generally becomes valid 10 days after primary vaccination and is recognised for the lifetime of the vaccinated person under international rules. As entry requirements can change, check the latest official guidance before travelling.

If you need yellow fever vaccination or an ICVP, contact Trinity Medical Group to enquire about the arrangements before your departure date.

It is best to arrange a travel health consultation as early as possible, ideally several weeks before departure. Some vaccines require more than one dose, and certain vaccinations need time to provide protection.

For yellow fever vaccination, allow at least 10 days before arrival at a destination where a valid certificate is required. Even if your trip is approaching, a consultation may still be useful to identify available vaccinations and other precautions relevant to your itinerary.

This depends on your destination, the areas you plan to visit, the duration of your stay and your individual health circumstances.

Trinity Medical Group can advise on malaria prevention where relevant, together with other precautions against travel-related illnesses. If preventive medication is appropriate, the doctor can discuss its use and any relevant contraindications or precautions.

Travellers should not assume that malaria prevention is necessary for every destination or that medication alone eliminates the risk of infection.

Yes. Trinity Medical Group provides fitness-to-travel assessments for individuals who need medical evaluation before travelling.

An assessment may be appropriate if you have a medical condition, are recovering from an injury or illness, or have concerns about whether you can safely undertake your planned journey. The doctor will consider your health status and relevant travel circumstances before advising on fitness to travel.

Where appropriate, Trinity can issue a fitness-to-travel certificate following the assessment.

Having a medical condition does not automatically mean that you cannot travel. However, the suitability of travel depends on the nature and stability of the condition, your current symptoms, the planned journey and the availability of medical care at your destination.

Trinity Medical Group can assess your circumstances and advise whether further evaluation, treatment or medical clearance is needed before departure. If you have recently sustained an injury or undergone treatment, the timing and demands of the journey should also be considered.

Yes. In addition to the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), Trinity Medical Group can issue fitness-to-travel certificates and other relevant medical documentation where applicable.

The type of certificate required depends on the purpose of travel and the requirements of the destination country, airline, employer or requesting organisation. Please confirm the specific documentation required before your appointment, as not every certificate is interchangeable or accepted by every authority.

Yes. Employees travelling overseas for work may have health requirements depending on their destination, assignment, job duties and company policies.

Trinity Medical Group can provide travel health advice, relevant vaccinations and fitness-to-travel assessments where indicated. Employers can discuss their employees’ travel plans and any specific medical documentation requirements with our team.

To help the doctor make appropriate recommendations, bring or prepare the following information where available:

• Your destination and travel itinerary, including stopovers.
• Your departure date and expected duration of stay.
• Planned activities or work duties at the destination.
• Your vaccination records, including any existing yellow fever vaccination certificate or ICVP.
• A list of current medications and relevant medical history.
• Any certificate or medical documentation requested by an airline, employer or destination authority.

Providing these details helps the doctor assess your travel-related health needs more effectively.

Contact Trinity Medical Group to arrange a pre-travel health consultation, enquire about travel vaccinations or discuss a fitness-to-travel assessment.
