Your health and safety are our top priorities when you’re planning a trip abroad. At Walbrook Pharmacy in London, our Travel Clinic and Vaccination service provides expert advice and tailored immunisations to protect you against travel-related illnesses and ensure you’re fully prepared for your journey — whatever your destination.

Whether you’re heading off on holiday, travelling for work, visiting family, volunteering overseas, or going on an adventure, we’re here to help you travel safe, confident, and well-protected.

What Is Our Travel Clinic?

Travel health risks vary depending on where you’re going, how long you’ll be away, and what you plan to do while there. Our Travel Clinic is a specialist pharmacy-based service where experienced pharmacists provide:

• Destination-specific travel health advice
• Personalised risk assessment based on your itinerary
• Recommended travel vaccines and booster schedules
• Anti-malarial and other travel-related medicine options
• Official documentation and vaccination certificates where required

We aim to make travel preparation simple, accessible, and tailored to your needs — all under one roof.

Why You Need Travel Vaccinations

When you travel abroad, you may be exposed to infectious diseases that are uncommon in the UK. Vaccinations offer vital protection by helping your immune system build defence against these diseases — reducing your risk of severe illness and helping protect the people you meet overseas.

Some countries also require official proof of vaccination (e.g., a Yellow Fever certificate) as a condition of entry. We can provide this documentation where needed.

Without the right vaccinations, travellers may face avoidable health risks which could disrupt travel plans, incur extra medical costs, and impact holiday or work commitments.

What Vaccinations We Provide

Our Travel Clinic offers a wide range of recommended travel vaccinations, including (but not limited to):

• Yellow Fever – Required for travel to certain countries in Africa and South America
• Typhoid – Recommended for many parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America
• Hepatitis A & B – Important for many destinations with differing sanitation standards
• Meningitis ACWY – Especially relevant for areas such as the African meningitis belt
• Rabies – If you’ll be in contact with animals or in rural environments
• Cholera – For destinations with low sanitation infrastructure
• COVID-19, Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio, Cholera, Japanese Encephalitis and others, as necessary

Your pharmacist will assess your itinerary, health history and previous vaccinations to recommend the vaccines that are right for you.

How Our Travel Clinic Works

Here’s what to expect when you use our Travel Clinic service:

1. Book an Appointment

You can easily book a travel health consultation at a time that suits you. Advance booking helps us ensure all required vaccines are in stock and allows time for preparation if questionnaires need to be completed in advance.

2. Pre-Consultation Questionnaire

Before your appointment, we may ask you to complete a short travel health questionnaire so we can tailor advice for your specific needs.

3. Personalised Assessment

During your consultation, one of our trained pharmacists will:

• Review your planned destinations and activities abroad
• Discuss your current health, vaccinations and medications
• Identify any specific travel health risks
• Recommend and plan the vaccinations and treatments you may need

4. Vaccination and Treatment

Based on the assessment, we can administer vaccinations and provide travel medicines (like anti-malarials) during your visit. We’ll also discuss timing, side effects, aftercare advice and the schedule for any follow-up doses.

5. Documentation and Follow-Up

You’ll receive official vaccination records or certificates where applicable. If booster doses are needed later, we’ll help you schedule these and send reminders so you stay protected.

Travel Health Advice Beyond Vaccines

Our Travel Clinic also covers broader travel health preparation, including:

• Advice on preventing jet lag and dehydration
• Food and water safety guidance
• Insect bite avoidance and protection tips
• Recommendations for travel medical kits
• Support with altitude sickness and other location-specific conditions

We want you to enjoy your trip with peace of mind, knowing your health is in expert hands.

When Should You Book your Travel Vaccinations?

It’s best to book your travel appointment as early as possible — ideally 4–6 weeks before departure — to ensure:

• You complete any multi-dose vaccination courses
• Your immune system has time to build full protection
• We have time to order any vaccines we may need specially

However, we understand that plans aren’t always made far in advance. We still recommend you get in touch even if your trip is soon — we may be able to offer same-day or quick appointments where possible.
