Scenario 2

Simon

Age 67. Loves the great outdoors. Runs half a marathon every week. Fit and well. Big science fan. Planning to explore nature reserves while away and fancies trekking up a mountain while there. Will do a daily run. Not one for sun loungers. Always first at the buffet.

Hellen

Can't wait to relax for a fortnight, has lined up the books. Enjoys a G&T by the pool. Will miss the dog while away and does enjoy making friends with random animals wherever she goes. Been known to befriend a hotel cat or two on previous trips.

Simon's vaccine records

Get some practice with the UK routine schedule and the incomplete immunisation algorithm and check if Simon is up to date.

Using the NaTHNaC website, which travel vaccines will you advise him to get or consider? Of these, which ones can you personally give and which ones will you refer to another health care professional? What other advice will he benefit from? Will he need antimalarials? Are there any factsheets on there that you can give to him? HINT: this might be one of them. Can you find any others?

Get some more practice with the UK routine schedule and the incomplete immunisation algorithm and see if Hellen is up to date with her UK immunisations.

Using the NaTHNaC website, which travel vaccines will you advise her to get or consider? Of these, which ones can you personally give and which ones will you refer to another health care professional? What other advice will she benefit from? Will she need antimalarials?
