How far in advance should I visit the pharmacy before my trip?

It is generally recommended to visit us at least six to eight weeks before your departure to allow ample time for vaccines to take effect. Some immunisations require multiple doses spread over several weeks to provide full immunity against specific diseases. However, even if you are travelling at short notice, we can still offer valuable protection and advice to keep you safe.

What side effects might I experience after receiving a vaccination?

Most people experience only mild side effects, such as a sore arm, slight fever, or tiredness for a day or two. Serious reactions are extremely rare, and our trained pharmacists are on hand to offer advice on managing any minor discomfort. We will provide you with detailed information about the specific vaccine you receive so you know exactly what to expect.

Do I need to bring my past vaccination records to the appointment?

Yes, bringing your previous vaccination history is highly beneficial as it helps us determine which boosters or new jabs you may need. This information prevents unnecessary duplicate vaccinations and ensures your medical records remain accurate and up to date. If you do not have a record, do not worry; we can still assess your current needs based on your travel plans.

Can children receive travel vaccinations at Egerton Pharmacy?

Yes, we provide vaccinations for both adults and children. Our pharmacists will carefully assess age, medical history, and destination risks before recommending suitable options. This ensures younger travellers are fully protected and parents have peace of mind.

Anti-Malarial Medication

Malaria poses a potentially fatal threat which can, in most cases, be avoided through taking all of the necessary precautions. At Egerton Pharmacy in Islington, you can obtain all of the anti-malarial medication that you require - no prescription needed. Malaria is most commonly contracted after being bitten by an infected mosquito. So why not consider our mosquito-repellent medications and equipment to minimise your chances of being bitten?
