Things You Need to Know
When planning a trip, preparation goes beyond flights and accommodation. Taking steps to protect your health is an important part of travelling safely. A travel health consultation can help you understand which vaccinations, medicines, or precautions may be recommended for your destination and personal circumstances. Our expert pharmacy team explains the health risks for your trip and practical ways to stay safe.
Timing is Crucial
We recommend arranging your travel vaccinations around 6-8 weeks before you leave, so they’ll be fully effective before you arrive. The good news is, with our prompt appointment service aiming to see all patients within 24 hours, you won’t have to book weeks in advance to see one of our available clinicians.
Some vaccinations need multiple doses or time to build up protection in your system. That’s why getting started early gives you the best coverage. But if your trip’s come up at short notice, don’t worry – it’s still worth getting advice. Last-minute consultations and vaccinations are available to help protect you.
Here are some important considerations every traveller should keep in mind before jetting off:
Do You Need Travel Vaccinations?
Vaccination recommendations vary depending on your destination, duration, planned activities, and medical history. Some countries may also have entry requirements for certain vaccines.
Depending on where you are travelling, protection may be recommended against conditions such as:
- Yellow fever
- Hepatitis A and B
- Typhoid
- Rabies
- Japanese encephalitis

Malaria: Know Your Risk
Malaria exists in many popular destinations, but not everyone realises they’re at risk. Avoiding mosquito bites is your first line of defence. Depending on where you’re travelling, antimalarial tablets may be necessary too. We’ll help you understand the risks and provide guidance on the best medication for your needs.
Dealing with High Altitude
Heading to mountainous regions? Altitude sickness is a real possibility, especially if you’re ascending quickly. Simple steps like taking it slowly, staying hydrated, and sometimes using medication can make a real difference.
We’ll assess your plans and health history to advise whether medication might help.
