Whether you’re travelling for a holiday, business trip, or volunteering abroad, protecting your health is essential.

Travel brings new experiences — and exposure to different diseases. Some countries require specific vaccinations before entry, while others are simply recommended for your safety.
Our pharmacists are trained to give you personalised, destination-specific advice based on your travel plans.

Why You Need Travel Vaccinations

Different parts of the world carry health risks that may not exist in the UK. Vaccinations protect you from serious infections that could ruin your trip or have long-term health consequences.

Common risks include:

• Hepatitis A & B – spread through contaminated food, water, or blood contact

• Typhoid – caused by bacteria in unsafe food and water

• Yellow Fever – a mosquito-borne virus found in tropical regions (some countries require proof of vaccination for entry)

• Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio (Td/IPV) – found in many parts of the world

• Rabies – transmitted through animal bites or scratches

• Japanese Encephalitis – spread by mosquitoes in rural Asia and the Pacific

Getting vaccinated ensures you’re protected before exposure.

What to Expect from Your Appointment

1. Travel Health Consultation

   • We’ll discuss your destination(s), duration of stay, type of travel, and medical history.

   • We identify any vaccinations or medicines recommended or required for your trip.

2. Vaccination & Medication Plan

   • We’ll provide the necessary vaccines during your visit or schedule follow-up doses if needed.

   • You’ll also receive advice on travel essentials such as mosquito protection, altitude sickness tablets, or malaria prevention.

3. Aftercare & Certification

   • We provide certificates for vaccines like Yellow Fever, required for certain countries.

   • We also give you a record of all vaccines administered for your medical records.

When to Book

Ideally, book your travel health consultation at least 6–8 weeks before departure to allow time for multiple doses if required.
However, if you’re travelling sooner, we can still help — many vaccines can be given last minute for partial protection.
