    Just wondering if Medical Card holders can get Travel Vaccinations for free with their Medical Card?

    Depends on your GP. Some ( certainly not all) may charge, but if you are going to ,say, Africa, you may need a range of expensive vacs, and most GPs will charge.

    No, they are not covered under the medical card.
