If you're planning to travel outside the uk, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
We offer a wide range of travel vaccinations at our pharmacy. If you need vaccinations for travel purposes or occupational health, we are well placed to help you. Our travel vaccination pharmacists will take you through a consultation to establish your vaccination needs and requirements. We also offer antimalarials which can be dispensed at the same appointment.
Vaccinations are very important to protect yourself and your loved one. Also, for your travel insurance to be valid, you need to have done the recommended vaccinations. some vaccinations have multiple doses so it’s important that you plan to have your vaccination in advance of your departure date, usually 6-8 weeks prior.
We offer bookings and walk-in appointments to suit your needs. our pharmacists have received specific training in providing travel vaccinations services. The service will be provided in a private consultation room where you can ask any questions you might have during the consultation. it’s important that you bring any previous immunisation history with you to help the pharmacist work out what vaccination you need.
We also offer a range of travel essentials such as mosquito repellents, flight socks, diarrhoea relief and rehydration therapies. Contact us today to book an appointment or visit us at the pharmacy. we look forward to seeing you.
