Frequently asked questions
Is Clifford Gardens Medical Centre an approved yellow fever vaccination centre?
Yes. Clifford Gardens Medical Centre is a Travel Medicine Alliance member clinic, and every TMA member clinic is an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, so you can have your yellow fever vaccine and receive your certificate here.
How do I book a travel vaccination appointment?
Call the clinic on (07) 4589 0027 and let the team know you are booking a travel consultation. You can also book online.
How far ahead of my trip should I book?
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before you leave, so there is time for vaccines that need more than one dose. If you are leaving sooner, an appointment is still worthwhile, as many vaccines can be given close to departure.
