    When to vaccinate before travelling?
    I need vaccinations for uni, but between uni and now, I'm traveling for a week. Leave for uni in 40 days.

    The place I'm going to doesnt need vaccinations to enter it, but I need to get some done before entering. Is it safe and advisable to have vaccinations before traveling? Won't I get sick ?

    Vaccinations won't make you sick. :nah: You'd be best off consulting someone now (the NHS does travel clinics), as for some vaccinations you need a couple of shots with a set amount, say a month, between them.
