Travel Vaccine

When you travel abroad, you may be exposed to infections that are not common in the UK. Vaccines can protect you from diseases like hepatitis A, typhoid, yellow fever and others that could cause serious illness.

At South Ealing Pharmacy, we offer professional travel health advice and a wide range of vaccines. Our service is here to help you stay safe and well, whether you are visiting family overseas, going on a business trip or taking a much-needed holiday.

Some vaccines are recommended for most travellers, while others depend on where you are going, how long you are staying, and what activities you plan to do. For example, trekking in rural areas may carry a different level of risk compared to staying in a city hotel.

It is best to plan ahead and arrange your travel vaccines at least six weeks before you travel. Some vaccines take time to work, and others may need more than one dose to provide full protection. If your trip is last-minute, it is still worth booking an appointment as some protection is better than none.

Our pharmacist will ask about your travel plans, check your vaccination history, and recommend the vaccines you need. We can also give you useful travel health advice, such as how to avoid insect bites, safe food and water tips, and advice on preventing common illnesses like travellers’ diarrhoea.

You will receive your vaccines in a safe, professional environment at our pharmacy in South Ealing. We are trusted by local families and travellers across Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Brentford and the wider West London community.
