Common questions
Travel clinic FAQ.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally book 6 to 8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccinations need a course of doses over several weeks, and certain vaccines need a few days to start protecting you. If your trip is sooner, get in touch anyway — we can usually still help, even at short notice.
How much does the travel consultation cost?
The travel risk assessment is £20. That covers the pharmacist consultation, the destination-specific risk assessment, and clear written travel advice. The cost of any vaccinations or antimalarials is confirmed at the appointment before you commit.
Which vaccinations will I need?
It depends on your destination, the time of year, how long you're staying, your accommodation, and the activities planned. The pharmacist reviews your full itinerary against current TravelHealthPro and NaTHNaC guidance, then recommends a tailored plan.
Do you do Yellow Fever?
Yellow Fever vaccinations must be given at a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. We are not currently a Yellow Fever centre. If your itinerary requires it, we will tell you where to get it and still handle the rest of your travel plan.
What about antimalarials?
Antimalarial tablets are a prescription-only medicine. Where they are recommended for your trip, our pharmacist can prescribe and supply them at the consultation, with clear advice on how to take them and bite-prevention tips for your destination.
What do I need to bring?
Your itinerary (countries, dates, accommodation, activities), any previous vaccination records or certificates, a list of your current medications, and details of any long-term conditions or recent surgery. Comfortable clothing with easy access to your upper arm is helpful for the vaccination itself.
Can you do a family or group booking?
Yes. If you are travelling as a family or group, let us know at booking and we will arrange consultations together where possible. It's often quicker, and it makes sure everyone's vaccinations line up with the trip dates.
