Vaccine guide
Five services, one personalised review.
The recommended vaccine, timing and number of doses depend on age, medical history, previous records, exposure risk, occupation and travel plans.
Exposure and prevention
Rabies Vaccine
Pre-exposure vaccination may be considered for people with occupational, travel or repeated animal-contact risk. After an exposure, urgent assessment determines the appropriate next steps.
- An animal bite, scratch or saliva contact with broken skin.
- Work, travel or activities involving frequent animal contact.
- People advised to complete a pre- or post-exposure course.
Seasonal protection
Influenza Vaccine
Annual influenza vaccination helps reduce the risk of flu and serious complications. Timing may be planned around health needs, work, pregnancy or travel.
- Older adults and people with chronic health conditions.
- Pregnant people, healthcare workers and frequent travellers.
Wound and booster review
Tetanus Vaccine
Tetanus protection may be reviewed as part of routine vaccination or after a wound. Advice depends on the wound type and your previous vaccination history.
- A puncture, contaminated wound, bite, burn or uncertain vaccine record.
- A routine booster review based on age and vaccination history.
Liver protection
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection spread through blood and certain body fluids. Vaccination can be discussed when protection is incomplete or exposure risk is higher.
- A review of past doses, work and household or sexual exposure risks.
- Screening or antibody testing when clinically appropriate.
Food work and travel
Typhoid Vaccine
Typhoid vaccination is required for food handlers in Malaysia and may be considered for selected travel. Vaccination does not replace careful food, water and hand hygiene.
- Food-handler vaccination requirements and documentation.
- Travel to areas where typhoid risk may be higher.
Good to know: Vaccine brands, stock, eligibility and schedules can differ by age, health history and branch. A doctor will confirm what is appropriate before vaccination.
