Frequently asked questions
Is Burnie Travel Medicine an approved yellow fever vaccination centre?
Yes. Burnie Travel Medicine 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 03 6431 1722 and let the team know you are booking a travel consultation.
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.
Where is the clinic?
Burnie Travel Medicine is located at Suite 5, 10 Marine Terrace, Burnie TAS 7320. Burnie Travel Medicine consults from City Medical Practice & Skin Clinic on Marine Terrace in central Burnie.
What should I bring to my travel appointment?
Bring your itinerary, any previous vaccination records (you can download your immunisation history from Medicare online or the Express Plus Medicare app) and a list of your regular medicines.
