🧳 Europe Travel Vaccinations
Even when travelling closer to home, it’s important to stay protected. Parts of Europe — particularly Eastern, Central, and Northern regions — still carry risks from tick bites, food contamination, and varying hygiene standards. Staying up to date with the right Europe travel vaccinations helps keep you safe throughout your trip.
At Holden’s Chemist Express Travel Clinics in Doncaster and Newark, our travel health experts provide personalised advice, same-day appointments, and all recommended vaccines for European destinations.
🗺️ Common European Travel Regions & Risks
🇵🇱 Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia)
Forested and rural areas carry an increased risk of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).
Recommended vaccines: Tick-borne Encephalitis, DTP booster, Hepatitis A (for longer stays).
🇭🇷 Southern Europe (Croatia, Greece, Turkey)
Popular warm-weather destinations — ensure routine DTP and Hepatitis A vaccinations are up to date.
Additional advice: Be extra cautious with food and water hygiene in rural or coastal regions.
🇪🇪 Northern Europe (Baltic States, Scandinavia)
Camping, hiking, and exploring forests can increase exposure to tick bites.
