Travel Vaccination Timeline Planner
Sequence pre-travel vaccines by calculating how many days you need between doses plus a safety buffer before departure.
Examples
- Departure in 9 weeks, 2-dose series, 28-day gap, 10-day buffer ⇒ Result: Start within the next 25 days
- Departure in 6 weeks, 3-dose series, 21-day gap, 14-day buffer ⇒ Result: Start 5 days before today
FAQ
How do I add blood test checks?
Add extra buffer days equal to the lab turnaround required for proof-of-immunity testing before departure.
What if doses can be accelerated?
Enter the accelerated interval if the manufacturer allows it. Some vaccines have rapid schedules specifically for travellers.
Can I plan overlapping series?
Run the calculator for each vaccine series separately, then compare the start-by dates to coordinate appointments.
Additional Information
- Output tells you how soon to schedule the first dose to complete the series before departure.
- Include country entry requirements or lab test windows by increasing the buffer days.
- If you finish early, maintain immunity documentation for border checks and carry physical records.
- Consult travel medicine clinics for vaccines with complex schedules such as rabies pre-exposure or Japanese encephalitis.
