One of our staff members will ask you some questions about the itinerary and plans that you have in mind for the trip. Some of the common questions that we’ll ask include:

Where is your destination? Which towns, cities, or settlements are you planning to visit?

For how long will you be travelling?

What is the purpose of your travel? Is it for a holiday, studying, working, volunteering, or visiting relatives and friends?

What kind of accommodation will you expect, such as hotels, camping, hostels, a ship, local homes, etc?

What medications are you currently taking, if any?

Are your routine immunisations up-to-date?

Vaccination is a vital part of a travel clinic appointment. This is because most of the common travel-related diseases can be prevented through vaccination. You may get one, two, or more vaccinations during a single appointment depending on which vaccinations you’ve had in the past and where you’ll be travelling to. Totley Pharmacy is licensed to give the Yellow Fever vaccine, with a vaccination certificate that’s required as proof. If you are not yet immune, common travel vaccines include Rabies, typhoid, Japanese Encephalitis, and Hepatitis A.

Getting travel vaccinations in Sheffield is a huge step towards keeping you healthy during your travels, and it’s safe. However, there are a number of illnesses that cannot be prevented using vaccines. A good example is Malaria.
