You will be seen by a specialist travel pharmacist who has extensive knowledge of travel medicine, disease processes and malaria prevention

Using the risk assessment form you have filled in and your itinerary the pharmacist will advise you of any vaccinations that are recommended. For a rough guide you can visit the Destinations page
What do I need to bring?
Please bring any past vaccination history you may have, completed risk assessment from if not already emailed back to us and a valid ID
When shall I have my vaccinations?
Ideally it is recommended to have your vaccines 4-6 weeks before travel enabling you to complete any course of vaccines you may need. If you only need a booster vaccine then 14 days before is sufficient. Yellow fever requires 10 days before travel
