Travelling soon? Same-day travel vaccine appointments are often available

You're welcome to come in and ask — we're a working pharmacy on Chasetown High Street and someone will always speak to you. But travel appointments use the private consultation room and a pharmacist's time, so whether you can be seen there and then depends on the day. Calling 01543 682921 first is much quicker than a wasted journey: we'll tell you honestly what's free today.

Usually, yes. Some protection is better than none, and several travel vaccines are a single dose that still does useful work when given close to departure. What you can't do the day before is complete a course like rabies or hepatitis B. A pharmacist will tell you plainly what still helps in the time you have, what won't, and what to do instead — including malaria prevention, bite avoidance and food and water advice, which matter whatever your vaccination status.

You'll go through your trip with a pharmacist — destinations, dates, what you'll be doing and your health and vaccination history — and they'll explain what's usually advised and what it costs. Anything suitable, in stock and clinically appropriate that day can be given in the private room, and you leave with a record of it.

No. Yellow fever vaccination and the international certificate can only be given at centres designated for it, and Burntwood Clinic isn't one. We'll check whether your destination genuinely requires it and point you to your nearest designated centre — Touchwood Pharmacy at Greenhill Health Centre, Lichfield WS13 6JL. It's also worth knowing a yellow fever certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination, so that one can't be left to the last minute.

The vaccines are priced the same whenever you have them — see the travel vaccine price list. The pharmacist confirms the price with you before anything goes ahead. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: whether any separate fee applies to a same-day or urgent appointment]

Often, yes — but tell us when you call so we can set aside enough time rather than fitting you in one at a time. For larger parties, gap-year groups, work trips or Hajj and Umrah groups, our group and corporate page is the better starting point and group rates are available on request.
