Morocco is a short flight from the UK, with trips ranging from city breaks in Marrakech and Fes to the Atlas Mountains, the desert around Merzouga and the Atlantic coast.
A few nights in a riad is different from a trek, a desert camp or a long stay with family. Where you eat, where you sleep and how long you are away all affect what is advised.
The pharmacist at North Wales Clinics goes through your plans and your vaccine history and explains what current UK guidance advises for your trip.
UK guidance usually advises these vaccines for most travellers to Morocco. Each has its own page explaining what it protects against and how the course works:

When to book
Six to eight weeks before you travel is ideal, as some vaccines need more than one dose. Morocco is often booked at short notice, and a later appointment is still worth having.
