We recommend completing your SafeGard consultation at least 6–8 weeks before your departure.
This allows enough time for:
Physician review of your medical history and travel itinerary
Delivery of prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy
Scheduling and receiving any required vaccines — especially those that require multiple doses spaced weeks apart.
Your body to develop protective antibodies after vaccination.
If your trip is coming up sooner, you can still use SafeGard.
