Travel vaccines available
Most trips need a quick check against your destination, length of stay and planned activities. The clinic can advise on the vaccines commonly used in UK travel health consultations.
Availability depends on stock and your individual assessment. Vaccines are Prescription Only Medicines and only supplied after a pharmacist consultation determines they are clinically appropriate for you.
VaccinesEating and drinking out on your travels?
Hepatitis A can spread through contaminated food and water. Ask whether vaccination is suitable for your trip at your consultation.
VaccinesVisiting South Asia, Africa or Latin America?
Typhoid can be caught from contaminated food and water. Your pharmacist will advise whether vaccination is appropriate for your itinerary.
VaccinesStaying longer or working abroad?
Often considered for longer stays, healthcare work or activities with a higher chance of exposure. Courses take time, so ask early.
VaccinesSpending time in remote areas or around animals?
Pre-travel doses can simplify the treatment needed after a bite or scratch abroad. Ask whether a course suits your trip and when to start.
VaccinesHeading somewhere with limited clean water?
Usually only advised for certain trips, such as aid work or travel to remote areas. Suitability is assessed at your consultation.
VaccinesSpending time in rural parts of Asia?
May be considered for longer stays or rural trips in parts of Asia. The course needs planning, so book well before you travel.

What patients say

Booked the day before flying to Thailand and got seen the same afternoon. The pharmacist went through exactly what I needed for the islands and didn't try to sell me anything extra. Really reassuring.
I'd left it late before a long-haul trip and they still fitted me in. Friendly, quick and talked me through what was possible in the time I had. So much easier than trying to get a GP appointment.
We're off to Morocco and weren't sure if we needed anything. They checked our old records, told us what was still in date and only recommended what made sense. Great local pharmacy.
Went in for travel advice before backpacking in Bali. Lovely, calm consultation room and they were happy to answer all my questions. Would definitely use them again.
Common questions
Still have a question? Call the clinic on 01543 682921 and a qualified pharmacist will get back to you.
Same-day appointments are usually available. Bookings need a minimum of two hours' notice from the booking time, so if your trip is in the next few days, you can usually be seen the same day.
Ideally book 6–8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines need more than one dose, or time to take effect, before you leave. If your trip is sooner than that, it's still worth booking — your pharmacist can advise on what's possible in the time you have and how to reduce your risks while you're away.
Yes. Your consultation is with a qualified pharmacist registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). They'll go through your itinerary, medical history and previous vaccinations, explain your options and agree a plan with you. Any vaccines that are suitable for you can then be given at the clinic.
