Why use Travel Health Service?
When travelling abroad, it is especially vital that you prepare ahead of time to ensure you remain healthy. Our travel health service provides you with the latest advice, treatments, and recommended vaccinations. This service is particularly tailored to you as an individual and to your travel destinations.
Certain vaccinations may be required to protect you from serious diseases in other countries, like yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Here in the UK, people are advised to have a routine immunisation schedule that includes vaccinations such as the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and the diphtheria-tetanus-polio vaccine. Individuals are also advised to be up-to-date with their Covid-19 vaccine.
Travellers should ideally arrange an appointment at least four to six weeks before travel with their nearest Pharmacy+Health branch. During the appointment, travellers can consult with our trained pharmacists. Some vaccinations should be given several weeks before travelling outside the UK, to allow their bodies time to develop immunity. However, even if time is short, an appointment is still worthwhile.
Your appointment will be tailored to your individual needs, taking into account any pre-existing medical conditions. It will also include destination-specific travel health safety information on topics like malaria prevention and vaccination advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are planning a trip abroad, especially beyond Europe, then there may be specific medication and vaccination requirements. Speak with one of our trained pharmacists quickly and conveniently to get the latest advice and treatments you need.
The Travel Service, which includes a consultation with our pharmacist is free. Once you have booked your appointment you will receive an email link to the online pre-consultation questionnaire. Please do complete this well ahead of your appointment so that our pharmacist is as prepared as possible to give you the up to date health advice, vaccinations and or medications for your destination.
We show an indicative cost of vaccinations on this webpage, however the vaccine that our pharmacist recommends may depend on your health, destination, any current medications and vaccine availability from the manufacturer. They will confirm the cost of the actual vaccine they recommend at your consultation and you can make the decision there to progress or not. Payment for the vaccine is required at the time of the vaccination, in-branch.
Our pharmacist will discuss with you destination-specific travel health safety information, malaria prevention and vaccination advice.
Whilst the NHS commissions pharmacies to provide a small number of clinical services, we are able to provide a much wider range on a private basis. A small fee provides you with face-to-face, phone or video call access to our trained healthcare team.
