Whether you’re jetting off to explore the jungles of South America, relaxing on a beach in Southeast Asia, or heading to visit family abroad, preparing your health is just as important as booking your flights and packing your suitcase.

Travel exposes us to new environments, cultures—and sometimes, new health risks. Diseases that are rare in the UK, such as yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A or B, and Japanese encephalitis, may be more common in other parts of the world. Vaccinations are a simple, effective way to protect yourself and avoid turning your holiday into a hospital stay.

Some vaccinations are recommended depending on the country, and in a few cases, they may even be a requirement for entry. That’s why it’s a good idea to check at least 6-8 weeks before you travel to make sure you’re up to date.

At Addlestone Pharmacy, we offer a full range of travel vaccinations and health advice tailored to your destination. Our trained pharmacists can help you understand what you’ll need based on where you’re going, how long you’ll be away, and what you’ll be doing.

Appointments are quick and convenient, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have—whether it’s about vaccine timing, side effects, or how to stay well while abroad.

Some vaccines require more than one dose, or take a couple of weeks to become fully effective. The sooner you check your travel health requirements, the more choices you’ll have. Even if you’re leaving last-minute, we can still help with essential protection.
