Travel Vaccinations in Northern England
Travelling abroad exposes you to infections that may not be common in the UK. Your Pharmacy Clinics provides a complete in-clinic travel vaccination service across Northern England, supporting patients throughout Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and County Durham. Our trained clinicians deliver safe and efficient appointments, offering personalised advice and access to a full range of recommended travel vaccines.
With community pharmacy clinics across Northern England, patients can book in-clinic appointments at convenient locations. Whether you are travelling for leisure, work, volunteering, study, or long-term stays, our team ensures you receive the right protection based on your destination, travel plans and medical history.
Travellers are encouraged to book as early as possible. Some vaccines require several doses, while others take time to develop full immunity. Booking at least four to six weeks before departure is recommended to maximise protection.
Why Travel Vaccinations Matter
Travel vaccines reduce the risk of contracting serious infections that may be widespread in certain regions. Many illnesses encountered overseas can cause significant health complications or may be difficult to treat. In addition, some countries require proof of vaccination for entry, making immunisation a vital part of travel preparation.
During your appointment, a clinician will review your pre-consultation form, discuss your itinerary, assess any health concerns and confirm the vaccines suitable for your destination. This ensures every vaccination is appropriate, safe and aligned with current UK travel health guidelines.
Vaccines Available at Your Pharmacy Clinics
Clinics across Northern England provide access to a broad selection of travel vaccinations for destinations including Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, the Middle East and parts of Europe. Many vaccines are available as single-dose protection, while others follow multi-dose schedules for long-term immunity.

Antimalarial Medicines
Some destinations require preventive antimalarial medication. Clinicians will recommend a suitable option based on your location, trip duration, activities and medical background. Options include Doxycycline, Malarone (adult and paediatric) and Mefloquine. Each medicine follows a different dosing schedule, and the clinician will explain how and when to take it.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Patients should bring any previous vaccination records, their travel itinerary, information about ongoing medical conditions and a list of regular medication. This allows the clinician to confirm suitability and provide advice specific to the regions being visited.
Booking a Travel Vaccination Appointment
Appointments for travel vaccinations are carried out in-clinic at Your Pharmacy Clinics locations across Northern England, supporting patients throughout Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and County Durham. Prior to attending, patients must complete a secure pre-consultation form through their registered account to ensure the clinician has all relevant medical information.
