Travel Vaccinations Ipswich

We stock the full range and we only recommend what your trip actually calls for.

Yellow Fever Vaccine

£75

Some countries require it for entry. As a NaTHNaC-approved yellow fever centre, we administer the vaccine and issue your certificate the same day, valid for life in most cases. 

Hepatitis A

£50 per dose

Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food and water. If you are heading to Asia, Africa, or South America, it is usually on the list.

Hepatitis B

£50 per dose

Hepatitis B spreads through blood and bodily fluids. Most people do not plan to need medical treatment abroad, but accidents happen. Worth considering for longer stays or anywhere healthcare standards are variable.

Typhoid

£50

Linked to poor sanitation and unsafe food. High risk across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of Latin America, often paired with Hepatitis A.

Rabies

£85 per dose
A bite or scratch from a dog, monkey, or bat can transmit rabies, even at tourist sites. Particularly important for rural travel, adventure trips, and families travelling with children.

Cholera

£45 per dose
Cholera is a risk where clean water is hard to come by. We mainly recommend it for aid workers, high-risk travellers, or anyone visiting remote areas.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis

£60 per dose
Found in forested and rural parts of Central and Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. If you are hiking, camping, or spending time outdoors between April and November, this is worth discussing.

MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella)

£50 per dose

Recommended for unvaccinated adults or anyone who has not completed a two-dose course. Some patients may be eligible on the NHS, worth checking before booking privately.

DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio)

£50

A booster is recommended if your last dose was more than 10 years ago. If you were vaccinated within the last five years, you are not currently eligible, your pharmacist will confirm at appointment.

// Travel Medications

Travel Medications: Tablets and Preventative Treatments

Not every risk is covered by a jab. These are the travel medications we supply following a pharmacist assessment.

Whooping Cough Vaccine

Travellers Diarrhoea Treatment

You are probably not as late as you think. Contact us and we will tell you straight what is still possible.

Most single-dose vaccines, like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Meningitis ACWY, provide real protection even if given close to departure. You can start longer courses such as rabies and hepatitis B before you leave and complete them when you get back.

The honest answer is that nearly always something is better than nothing, and your pharmacist will tell you exactly what to prioritise for your particular destination and timeline.
