Travel vaccinations are a way to protect your health when travelling internationally. At Warners Bay Pharmacy, we offer a comprehensive range of vaccinations tailored to your travel destination and individual health requirements.
Travel health advice helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases that are common in certain regions, many of which are preventable with timely immunisation. Our pharmacists provide guidance on which vaccines are necessary based on the country you're visiting, the length of your stay, and any pre-existing medical conditions you may have. For instance, areas with high-risk diseases, such as yellow fever or malaria, often require additional vaccinations.
Not only do vaccinations protect you from these diseases, but they also play a role in promoting public health by reducing the risk of outbreaks. We also provide advice on additional precautions like antimalarial medications and tips for safe travel.

Our Travel Services
Before you embark on your journey, ensure you're up-to-date with the required vaccines to protect yourself from preventable diseases. At Warners Bay Pharmacy, we offer:
- Destination-Specific Vaccines: Certain countries or regions may require specific vaccines. These may include vaccinations against diseases such as Yellow Fever, Hepatitis or Typhoid. Our pharmacists can provide you with detailed information based on your travel destinations.
- Routine Immunisations: In addition to travel-specific vaccines, we will ensure your routine immunisations, such as measles, mumps, rubella and influenza are up-to-date. These vaccines can be important for maintaining your overall health while travelling.
- Protection Against Malaria: For regions where malaria is prevalent, we may advise on antimalarial treatments alongside vaccines. Malaria is a serious disease, and we ensure you have the necessary preventive measures.
- Customised Vaccination Schedules: Some vaccines require multiple doses or advance planning, and our team will help you create a vaccination schedule that fits your travel dates. This allows sufficient time for the vaccines to become effective.
- Travel Health Consultations:
In addition to vaccines, we provide consultations on general travel health practices. This includes advice on staying hydrated, managing food and water safety and preventing travel-related illnesses like traveler's diarrhoea.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common travel vaccinations required?
Travel vaccinations depend on the destination, but some of the most common include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Malaria prevention. These vaccines protect travellers from diseases that are common in specific regions, ensuring that you are not at risk during your trip. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine which vaccines are necessary for your destination.
How early should I get travel vaccinations before my trip?
You should aim to get your travel vaccinations at least 4 to 6 weeks before your departure. This timeline allows enough time for the vaccines to be fully effective and provides any necessary follow-up doses. For vaccines like Hepatitis A, which require two doses, starting the process well in advance is advisable.
Do travel vaccinations have any side effects?
Most travel vaccinations have mild side effects, such as soreness at the injection site, fatigue, or a slight fever. These reactions are usually short-lived and are a sign that your body is building immunity. Serious side effects are rare, but if you have concerns or a history of allergies, consult with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated.
