Tell us where you are going, and we will sort the vaccines, antimalarials and certificates you need in one appointment, without waiting for a GP.
Most infections that catch UK travellers out are ordinary, not exotic. Contaminated water, an undercooked meal, a mosquito bite at dusk, a street dog that scratches you.
The UK records well over a thousand imported malaria cases every year. A large share are in people visiting family abroad who skipped tablets because they grew up in the area.
Vaccination protects the people at home too. Measles and hepatitis A both travel back in hand luggage and spread through a household before anyone feels unwell.
There is a paperwork side as well. Yellow fever certificates are checked at borders in parts of Africa and South America, and Saudi Arabia will not issue a Hajj or Umrah visa without proof of MenACWY.
All prices below are per dose. Your pharmacist confirms exactly which vaccines you need at your consultation, based on where you are going and what you have had before.
Contaminated food and water spread this liver infection, making it the most common vaccine-preventable illness picked up by British travellers.

Blood and bodily fluids carry hepatitis B, so risk climbs with medical or dental treatment abroad, tattoos, piercings and road accidents.

A single booster updates all three. Adults need a booster if their last dose was over 10 years ago, but those boosted in the last 5 years are excluded under PGD guidelines.

Hiking, camping and forestry work across central, eastern and northern Europe bring you into tick habitat between spring and autumn.

Weak sanitation drives typhoid, which is why it is routinely advised for South Asia, parts of Africa and rural Latin America.

Bites, scratches and licks from dogs, bats and monkeys can all transmit rabies, and treatment after exposure is hard to source in remote areas.

Long-term after completing the course
Cholera is a diarrhoeal infection spread through contaminated water and food in areas with poor sanitation. An oral vaccine provides protection for travellers to high-risk areas.

Group B sits behind most meningococcal disease in the UK and Europe, and matters for students, backpackers and anyone in shared accommodation.

Confirmed at consultation
Measles is circulating again across Europe, Asia and Africa, so anyone without two documented childhood doses should be covered before flying.

Lifelong after 2 doses
Border officials in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America ask to see your certificate, and several countries refuse entry without one.

Lifelong protection

Tablets are matched to your destination, trip length and medical history, because resistance patterns differ between countries and no single tablet suits every traveller.
Acetazolamide helps your body adjust faster above 2,500 metres, which covers Cusco, Kilimanjaro, La Paz and the Everest base camp trek.
Norethisterone postpones a period so it does not land on your honeymoon, safari or pilgrimage. Tablets start three days before your period is due.
A short standby course for severe symptoms when far from care. Excluded under PGD for pregnant or breastfeeding patients, and contraindicated with medications like warfarin or digoxin.
Pick a slot online or call the pharmacy. Tell us your destination and travel date, so we can allow enough time and order anything unusual in advance.
In a private room, a pharmacist reviews your itinerary, medical history, and past vaccines to agree on a plan and full pricing before treatment.
Most vaccines are given the same day. You leave with a written record, your yellow fever certificate where relevant, any tablets you need, and dates for follow-up doses.
Saudi Arabia requires a MenACWY certificate issued at least 10 days before arrival and still valid for the trip. We vaccinate and certify on the day.
Proof of polio vaccination is also required for pilgrims arriving from certain countries. We check the current entry rules against your passport and route.
Families can be seen together in one appointment, so nobody makes two trips. Child doses and schedules differ from adult ones, and we work to those.
Bring the red book or GP record for each child. It shows what has already been given and prevents unnecessary repeat doses.
Older travellers feel dehydration, heat and long-haul flights more. Existing conditions and repeat medicines are taken into account before anything is recommended.
For travelers aged 60+, PGD guidelines restrict live vaccines like Yellow Fever due to higher risks of severe adverse reactions. We carefully evaluate your travel risk against vaccine risks before deciding.
Some vaccines are safe in pregnancy and some are not. Under PGD protocol, live vaccines such as Yellow Fever are absolutely contra-indicated during pregnancy. We check your stage of pregnancy and talk through whether the trip itself is advisable.
Malaria is more dangerous in pregnancy and not every tablet can be used. This needs sorting before you book flights, not after.
Live vaccines, including yellow fever and MMR, are absolutely contra-indicated under PGD guidelines if you take immunosuppressants or have a weakened immune system.
We will often ask you to check with your specialist first. Where a vaccine cannot safely be given, we can discuss an exemption letter for the border.
Trekking, diving, volunteering and overland trips take you away from hospitals, which moves rabies cover from optional to sensible.
Altitude medication, standby antibiotics and practical advice on water treatment, bite avoidance and medical kits are all part of the appointment.
Regular travellers do better staying ahead of the schedule than chasing doses before every trip. We keep your record and flag boosters as they fall due.
Short-notice travel is common in business. Where time is tight, we prioritise the vaccines that work fastest and tell you plainly what will not be effective in time.
Six to eight weeks before departure is the sensible target. Courses such as hepatitis B and rabies need several doses spread over weeks.
Yellow fever has a hard deadline. The certificate only becomes valid 10 days after the injection, so a late appointment can cost you entry. Furthermore, PGD exclusions strictly apply to pregnant, immunocompromised, or over-60 travellers.
Booking early also helps if you need a less common vaccine that has to be ordered in for you.
Leaving next week? Still come in. Many vaccines give useful protection quickly, and accelerated schedules exist for hepatitis and rabies.
