A travel clinic on Mottingham’s doorstep

Good travel health care should be easy to reach. Our two Chislehurst pharmacies sit a short journey from Mottingham and the surrounding SE9 area, so you can call in for a consultation without a long trip or a wait for the surgery. There is no referral to arrange and no waiting list, which counts for a lot when your departure date is close.

What happens at your appointment

Your visit starts with a short travel health consultation. We look at where you are going, how long for, the time of year and what you will be doing, then recommend the vaccines and medication that fit your trip. Two people flying to the same country can need very different protection, so the advice is built around you rather than a fixed list.

Bring any record of vaccines you have had before, as it saves repeating anything you do not need, along with your travel dates and a rough outline of your route. Where a vaccine is needed and in stock, we can usually give the first dose at the same appointment.

Which travel vaccines might you need?

We provide a full range of travel vaccines. Your pharmacist will confirm what you need for your destination, but the ones we provide most often are:

  • Typhoid: for much of Asia, Africa and parts of South America, where it spreads through contaminated food and water.
  • Hepatitis A and B: hepatitis A is one of the most common travel infections; hepatitis B matters more for longer stays or possible medical treatment abroad.
  • Malaria prevention: antimalarial tablets and bite-avoidance advice for risk areas in Africa, Asia and South America.
  • DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and polio): a booster is recommended every ten years for travel to many destinations.
  • Hajj and Umrah vaccinations: the MenACWY certificate required for pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia, issued the same day.

Travel vaccines by region: a quick guide

Every trip is assessed individually, but this gives a sense of what is often advised by region. We confirm your exact plan at the consultation.

Region
Often advised
Sub-Saharan Africa
Hepatitis A, typhoid, DTP, malaria tablets. A yellow fever certificate is required for some countries.
South and Southeast Asia
Hepatitis A, typhoid, DTP. Hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis for longer or rural trips; malaria tablets for some areas.

When should you book?

6+ weeks ahead
Ideal. Leaves time for any course that needs more than one dose.
2 to 4 weeks
Still plenty of time for most travel vaccines. Book in and we will plan it out.
Last minute
Still worth it. Many vaccines work quickly and we prioritise what protects you most.

Malaria tablets and avoiding bites

There is no vaccine against malaria for most travellers, so where it is a risk we prescribe antimalarial tablets suited to your destination, and supply them at the same appointment. Tablets work alongside avoiding bites, not instead of it. We will talk you through practical bite prevention too: cover up at dusk and dawn, use an effective insect repellent, and sleep under a net where your room is not screened.

Travelling with children

We look after families too. Some travel vaccines have a minimum age or a different dose for children, so we assess each child individually and keep the visit calm and quick. Bring their vaccination record if you have it, and we will fit their protection around the family trip.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a travel clinic near Mottingham?

Yes. Chislehurst Pharmacy Group runs a travel clinic from two pharmacies a short journey from Mottingham and the SE9 area, with same-day and next-day appointments.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. Travel vaccinations are a private service, so you can book directly with us without a referral.

How much do travel vaccinations cost?

It depends on which vaccines you need and how many doses, so we confirm the exact prices at your consultation before anything is given. You only pay for what your trip actually requires.

How quickly can I be seen?

In most cases the same day or the next day. If you are flying soon, call us and we will do our best to fit you in before you go.

How far ahead should I book?

Six weeks before travel is ideal, as some courses need more than one dose, but two to four weeks is fine for most vaccines, and last-minute is still worth it.

Can I get a yellow fever certificate?

We do not currently offer the yellow fever vaccine. Some countries require a certificate, so if yours does, we will tell you at your consultation and point you to an approved yellow fever centre.

Are travel vaccines available for children?

Yes. We assess each child individually, as some travel vaccines have minimum ages and different doses. Bring their vaccination record if you have it.
