Flying soon? Last-minute travel vaccinations near Mottingham. What still helps close to departure, accelerated schedules and same-day appointments, no GP referral.
Flying soon and not had your jabs? It is rarely too late to do something useful. Our travel clinic in Mottingham offers same-day and next-day appointments with no GP referral, so we can assess your trip and get the most important protection started quickly.
Plenty of travel vaccines work quickly, and a single dose often gives worthwhile protection while a course is completed. Some vaccines also have an accelerated schedule for adults, where the doses are given closer together so you are covered sooner. At your appointment we look at your destination and departure date and focus on the protection that will be working in time.
Malaria tablets are a good example of last-minute planning that works, as they are started shortly before you travel rather than weeks ahead. Where your destination needs them, we can prescribe and supply malaria tablets at the same visit.
When your trip is close, we focus on the vaccines that matter most for your destination and the activities you have planned, and on anything that protects against the more serious risks. We are honest about what can and cannot be fully completed before you fly, and where a course will not finish in time, we plan how to complete it while you are away or when you return.
If your trip involves Hajj or Umrah, the MenACWY certificate can be issued the same day, which is often exactly what last-minute pilgrims need.
Bring any record of vaccines you have had before, your travel dates and a rough outline of your route. It lets us skip anything you do not need and spend the time on what will protect you. You can read more about how it all works at our Mottingham travel clinic.
It is rarely too late to do something worthwhile. Even a day or two before travel, many vaccines and malaria tablets still help. The sooner you book, the more we can complete before you fly.
For some vaccines a first dose gives useful protection while the course is finished. For others, full protection needs the complete course. We will tell you clearly where you stand for your trip.
In most cases we offer same-day or next-day appointments. Call either pharmacy and we will do our best to fit you in before you travel.
