How Much Do Travel Vaccinations Cost in the UK? (2026 Prices per Jab)
Last updated 29 September 2026
Booking travel jabs is one of those tasks that always takes longer than expected. Some vaccines need multiple doses spread over weeks, so leaving it to the fortnight before your trip can genuinely limit what you can have. The good news: prices per dose are fairly consistent, and almost every travel clinic publishes them.
Quick answer: a travel vaccination in the UK typically costs £30 to £182 per dose, and most clinics charge around £75 per dose. Your total depends on which vaccines your destination needs and how many doses each course takes.
What affects the total cost
- Which vaccines you need. Hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and tetanus boosters sit at the cheaper end; rabies, Japanese encephalitis, and yellow fever cost more per dose.
- How many doses. Rabies is a 3-dose course; hepatitis B can be 2 to 3 doses. Multiply the per-dose price accordingly.
- Consultation fees. Some clinics charge a separate appointment fee on top of the vaccine price; many waive it if you go ahead with the jabs. Ask before booking.
- Certificates. Yellow fever requires a certificate from a registered centre, sometimes charged separately.
- How many travellers. Some clinics discount for families or groups travelling together.

Which travel jabs are free on the NHS?
Some are, if your NHS GP practice offers travel services: typically hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, and combined tetanus/diphtheria/polio. Others (rabies, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, meningitis ACWY, hepatitis B for travel) are almost always private, wherever you get them. NHS practices often have limited travel-clinic slots, which is why many people end up at a private clinic even for the free ones.

Often, yes. Most vaccines can be given on the same day. The exceptions are multi-dose courses, which need return visits spaced out over days or weeks. A travel clinic will map the schedule against your departure date.
