Travel Vaccines UK – Get Expert Advice and Vaccinations 

Planning a trip abroad? Make your health a priority with travel vaccines from Northern Pharmacy. Our expert pharmacists offer remote travel health consultations, helping you identify which vaccinations you may need based on your destination, itinerary, and personal medical history. Your travel vaccine UK consultation is just a click away.

Whether you’re travelling for work, leisure, or visiting family, we provide trusted, convenient support for travel vaccinations across the UK. Through an online consultation, our pharmacy team will assess your needs and recommend the right preventive treatments.

✈️ Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?

When travelling abroad, especially to regions with different climates, hygiene standards, or disease risks, it’s essential to protect yourself with the right travel immunisations. Some vaccine-preventable diseases that are common in other countries may not be present in the UK, meaning your body may not have natural immunity.

By staying up to date with your travel vaccinations, you can:

  • Reduce the risk of serious illness or infection abroad

  • Prevent disruption to your trip

  • Protect vulnerable communities and reduce global disease transmission

  • Meet entry requirements for certain countries (some vaccines are mandatory)

If you’re unsure what vaccines you need, Northern Pharmacy is here to guide you with personalised advice based on your destination and travel plans.

💉 Which Travel Vaccines Might I Need?

The vaccines you need depend on where you’re going, how long you’ll be there, and what you’ll be doing. Following a remote consultation, our pharmacists may recommend or discuss the following common UK travel vaccines:

  • Hepatitis A

  • Hepatitis B

  • Typhoid

  • Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio (Td/IPV)

  • Rabies

  • Cholera

  • Japanese Encephalitis

  • Yellow Fever (administered only at Yellow Fever–approved centres)

  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) (if you’ve never had it)

We also provide advice on antimalarial medication for destinations with malaria risk. For more information on travel vaccines, see the NHS website.

Your pharmacist will explain which vaccines are recommended, required for entry, or optional but beneficial, depending on your personal health history and the countries you’re visiting.

🌍 Example Travel Vaccine Advice by Destination

Here’s a general idea of what may be needed in different parts of the world:

  • Africa: Yellow fever (in some countries), typhoid, hepatitis A, malaria prevention

  • Asia: Japanese encephalitis (in some regions), typhoid, hepatitis A and B

  • South America: Yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, rabies (in rural areas)

  • Middle East: Hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus booster

  • India & Southeast Asia: Cholera, hepatitis A, typhoid, antimalarials

Please note: Requirements often change. That’s why getting a personalised consultation is key.

📝 How Our Travel Vaccine Consultation Works

At Northern Pharmacy, we make it simple to prepare for safe, healthy travel. Our remote travel health service works like this:

1. Complete a Secure Online Consultation

Fill in a short health and travel questionnaire. You’ll be asked for your destination(s), travel dates, activities, and any health conditions or previous vaccines.

2. Pharmacist Review & Advice

A qualified, UK-registered pharmacist will review your consultation and offer expert advice on what vaccines or antimalarials you may need. If you’re eligible, we may issue a private prescription.

3. Referral for Vaccine Administration

Northern Pharmacy does not administer vaccines on-site. However, we can:

  • Refer you to a local travel clinic or private provider

  • Help you find a Yellow Fever–approved centre if required

  • Coordinate prescription fulfilment for vaccines/antimalarials where appropriate

We’ll ensure you’re clear on your next steps before departure.

🕒 When Should I Book My Travel Vaccine Consultation?

Ideally, start your consultation at least 6–8 weeks before you travel, especially for destinations with multiple vaccine requirements or limited access to specialist clinics.

Some vaccines require multiple doses over time, while others may take 10–14 days to become fully effective. However, it’s never too late to seek advice, and even last-minute protection can help.

🧳 Who Should Consider Travel Vaccines?

You should book a travel vaccine consultation in the UK if you:

  • Are travelling outside of Western Europe, North America, or Australasia

  • Are backpacking or visiting remote areas

  • Are taking part in humanitarian work, fieldwork, or extended stays abroad

  • Are pregnant, have a chronic illness, or a weakened immune system

  • Have not had an updated tetanus or hepatitis vaccine in recent years

  • Want peace of mind before your trip

We can also support families travelling with children and older adults.
