- Travel Vaccinations
Different destinations carry different health risks, and travel vaccinations may be recommended depending on where you are going, how long you are staying, and the type of travel you are planning. Our travel vaccination service helps patients prepare well ahead of departure.
At Hyde Park Pharmacy, we can support you with travel health guidance, vaccination advice, and a clearer understanding of what protection may be recommended for your destination. Early planning is always best, especially for multi-stop or long-haul travel.
We review your destination, travel plans, trip length, activities, and medical history so your advice is matched to your journey.
Based on NHS and WHO guidance, we recommend suitable vaccines and discuss any antimalarial medication you may need.
Most vaccines can be administered on the same day in our private consultation room, subject to suitability and stock.
We explain practical ways to stay safer abroad, including bite prevention, food and water precautions, and follow-up doses where needed.
Hepatitis A is a viral liver infection spread through contaminated food and water, or close contact with someone infected. It is more common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene.
A single dose provides protection, with a booster 6-12 months later offering long-term immunity. It is best to plan vaccination at least 2 weeks before travel.
Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, and can pose a long-term health risk.
The vaccine is typically given as 3 doses over 1-6 months. Hepatitis A and B may also be offered together for convenience.
Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal illness typically contracted through contaminated water or food in areas with inadequate sanitation.
Travellers at higher risk may be advised to take an oral vaccine, commonly given as two doses one week apart.
Rabies is a serious viral infection affecting the nervous system. It is usually transmitted through bites or scratches from infected animals.
The vaccine is often recommended for travellers visiting remote areas, staying long term, working with animals, or travelling where rabies is common.
Chikungunya is a viral disease spread by infected mosquitoes. It can cause fever, joint pain, tiredness, and prolonged discomfort.
Availability can vary, so mosquito bite prevention remains an important part of travel preparation.
Meningitis can be a life-threatening infection of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord. The ACWY vaccine protects against four strains: A, C, W, and Y.
This vaccine may be recommended for travel to the African meningitis belt and is required for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
The DTP vaccine helps protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. Travellers may need a booster depending on their vaccination history and destination.
A combined booster can help refresh protection before travel, especially for remote or higher-risk destinations.
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water. It can cause high fever, weakness, and stomach pain.
Travellers can often choose from an injectable vaccine or an oral vaccine, depending on suitability and timing.
Japanese Encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can cause severe brain inflammation. It is rare but can be serious.
Vaccination may be advised for longer rural trips, travel during transmission seasons, or outdoor and camping activities.
