Travel Vaccinations and Hajj Vaccines in Kingston upon Thames

What are travel vaccinations?

Travel vaccinations protect you against infections that are common in other parts of the world but rare in the UK. Which ones you need depends on where you are going, how long you are staying, what you will be doing and your own health. Some are required for entry to a country. Most are recommended to keep you well while you are away.

Travel vaccines we offer

Travel vaccination prices in Kingston

All prices are fixed and per dose unless shown. Where a vaccine needs more than one dose, the full course price is shown too.

There is no separate consultation fee. A £50 reservation fee is paid when you book and is taken off your final bill, so the price you see is the total you pay.

Yellow fever vaccine is not available at our clinic.

Before and after your travel vaccinations

Before your appointment

• Bring your vaccination records, your travel dates and your full route, including any countries you pass through.
• Bring a list of any medicines you take.
• Eat and drink as normal beforehand, and wear a short sleeved or loose top so we can reach your upper arm easily.
• For the oral cholera vaccine, do not eat or drink for 1 hour before and 1 hour after each dose.
• If you have had another vaccine in the last 4 weeks, tell us which one, as some vaccines need to be given on the same day or at least 4 weeks apart.

Tell us before your vaccination if you

• Have had a serious allergic reaction to a vaccine, or to any ingredient in one.
• Have a high temperature or feel unwell on the day. A minor cold is usually fine, but with a fever we may move your appointment.
• Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have a weakened immune system, or take medicines that affect it, such as steroid tablets, chemotherapy or biologic treatments. Some vaccines are not suitable, and we will advise you on the right options.
• Take blood thinning medicines or have a bleeding disorder.
• Have fainted after an injection before. We can vaccinate you lying down.

After your vaccination

• We ask you to stay in the clinic for 15 minutes after your vaccine, or 30 minutes if you have a history of allergies, so we can make sure you feel well.
• A sore, red or slightly swollen arm for 1 to 2 days is common. Keep moving your arm gently, and a cool cloth can help.
• Some people have a mild temperature, a headache, aching muscles or tiredness for a day or two. Paracetamol or ibuprofen can help if needed. Follow the dose on the pack, especially for children.
• The oral cholera vaccine can cause a mild upset stomach.
• After the chickenpox vaccine, a few spots can appear within a month. Keep them covered and avoid close contact with pregnant women, newborn babies and people with a weakened immune system until the spots have dried.
• You can usually carry on with normal activities, including work, exercise and showering, on the same day.
• Finish every dose of your course on the dates we give you, and keep your vaccination record or certificate with your passport.
