Planning Your Next Adventure?

Whether you’re heading to the vibrant streets of Bangkok, embarking on a safari in Kenya, or planning a backpacking trip across South America, your health should be your top priority. Exotic destinations often carry risks of infectious diseases that aren’t common in the UK. This is where Travel Vaccinations come in.

When Should You Get Vaccinated?

We strongly recommend booking a travel health consultation at least 6 to 8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines need to be given in multiple doses spread over several weeks, and others take time for your body to build full immunity.

Common Travel Vaccines You Might Need

  • Yellow Fever: Mandatory for entry into certain countries in Africa and South America. Prime Response Pharmacy is a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
  • Typhoid & Hepatitis A: Highly recommended for areas with poor sanitation and food hygiene.
  • Hepatitis B: Recommended if you plan on participating in high-risk activities, getting a tattoo, or working in healthcare abroad.
  • Rabies: Essential for travellers visiting remote areas where access to immediate medical care is limited.

Don’t Forget Malaria Prophylaxis

Vaccines don’t protect against Malaria. If you’re visiting a malaria-endemic region, our pharmacists can prescribe appropriate anti-malarial tablets based on your destination and medical history.
