Yellow fever is referral only. Burntwood Clinic is not a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, so we cannot give that vaccine or issue the certificate. We will refer you to your nearest designated centre — Touchwood Pharmacy, Greenhill Health Centre, Lichfield WS13 6JL — and give you every other vaccine you need here. (NaTHNaC register checked 17 September 2026.)

Travel vaccines are prescription only medicines. Everything here is for information — a pharmacist assesses your trip, your health and your vaccination history before anything is recommended or given.
