How Our Vaccination Service Works
Getting the right travel inoculation from Blackpool Express Chemist is as easy as 1, 2, 3…
Visit Our Clinic in Blackpool
We'll go through your destination, activities, and medical history. Here, we’ll create a risk assessment and recommend the vaccines you need.
Get Vaccinated
In most cases, we can vaccinate you in the same appointment. If you're travelling with others, we can see everyone together.
Travel Vaccinations By Destination
You’ll need different vaccines depending on where you’re going, what you’re doing and where you’re staying. Use the guide below to make sure you understand what you need before you go.
Africa And South America
Yellow fever protection is a common requirement across parts of Africa and South America, and some countries ask for proof of vaccination before you're allowed to enter.
Asia
Countries such as India, Thailand and Sri Lanka often call for protection against typhoid and hepatitis A, with Japanese encephalitis worth considering for longer stays or rural travel.
Saudi Arabia: Hajj And Umrah
Pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah need proof of meningitis vaccination before they travel. We provide the vaccination and MenACWY certificate required for travelling to Saudi Arabia.
Vaccinations For Backpacking Around South East Asia And Longer Trips
Multi-country routes and time spent in rural or remote areas can call for a wider range of vaccines, including rabies and tick-borne encephalitis.
Travel Vaccinations For Wherever You’re Going
Travelling to certain countries can expose you to diseases that aren’t common in the UK – getting vaccinated before you go protects you and the people you’re travelling with. It also reduces the risk of your trip being disrupted by illness, so you can make the most of your trip.
For up-to-date, country-specific guidance, plus other important information and tips on staying abroad, check out TravelHealthPro.org.uk.
Most vaccines take two weeks to become fully effective, and some require multiple doses spaced weeks apart. Ideally, you should book your travel health consultation 4-6 weeks before you leave, because some vaccines require multiple doses and to give you enough time to build a defence.
Travelling sooner? Don’t worry – get in touch with our Blackpool Travel Clinic anyway, as there may still be vaccines and other support we can offer.
What To Bring To Your Consultation
To make the most of your consultation and help us get you vaccinated, please bring the following to your consultation:
- Your travel itinerary, including destinations and dates
- Information on any medical conditions and current medications
- Records of previous vaccinations, if available
Malaria Assessments
Our vaccination centre can help you mitigate the risk of contracting malaria – assessing risk, advising on antimalarial measures, mosquito-bite prevention, food and water precautions, and more.
Additional Travel Vaccines & Support
We can also help you plan for things like traveller's diarrhoea, altitude sickness treatment and jet lag treatment (melatonin). However, these are prescription-only medicines, so you’ll need to see your GP before visiting us.
Registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre

Imran Ali
Lead PharmacistHello, I’m Imran, a dedicated pharmacist with nine years of diverse and comprehensive experience in the pharmaceutical field. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed some of the busiest community pharmacies in the North West of the UK, worked extensively as a locum pharmacist, and acquired substantial experience in hospital pharmacy settings. My expertise extends to specialized services, including ear wax removal and travel vaccinations consultancy.
My primary goal is to ensure that the community I serve receives the highest standard of care. I have witnessed firsthand the numerous challenges patients encounter in accessing quality healthcare, from long wait times to insufficient medical advice. These experiences have fueled my commitment to reversing these trends by providing efficient, empathetic, and comprehensive healthcare solutions. I believe that being a pharmacist is not just about dispensing medications; it’s about being a trusted healthcare advisor and advocate for my patients’ well-being.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I am deeply committed to personal health and fitness. I am an avid football player, a regular gym-goer, and find great joy in gardening. These activities not only keep me physically active but also help me maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, which I believe is crucial in providing the best care to my patients.

FAQs About Travel Vaccinations
Don’t assume you’ve left it too late to get vaccinated. Same-day appointments may be available, and our pharmacists can advise which vaccinations and travel-health precautions are still appropriate before you leave.
Some diseases that are rare or absent in the UK are still common in other parts of the world. Getting a travel vaccination from Blackpool Express Chemist lowers your risk of catching one of these illnesses and bringing it home.
In the case of rabies, remedies are limited worldwide, so if you’re exposed, prompt treatment can be difficult. As a result, it’s best to build immunity and get protected before you travel.
Yes, you can. If you’ve previously had NHS travel vaccinations, you could log into the NHS app to review your immunisation record or contact your GP surgery and request the information.
If you’re still unsure if a dose was given, we can safely give you a booster or restart the course to mitigate the risk of you catching anything while you’re away.
You don’t – you can book a travel inoculation appointment with us directly, without going through your GP first. Going private with our Blackpool travel clinic minimises wait times and reduces the risk of travel vaccines not being administered at the right time.
Prices depend on which vaccine you need and how many doses the course requires. Prices start from £40 for our typhoid and diphtheria, tetanus and polio (DTP) vaccines, which you’ll need for travelling to places like Thailand, Vietnam, and Sub-Saharan African countries.
You'll find the full price list above, and we'll confirm exact costs for your trip during your free consultation.
We recommend booking 6 to 8 weeks before you travel, since some vaccines need time to take effect or require more than one dose. If your trip is sooner, contact us, and we'll tell you what's still possible.
Bring your travel itinerary with dates and destinations, a list of any medical conditions or medications you're taking, and details of any previous vaccinations if you have them.
Our travel vaccinations are available for anyone aged 12 years and over. Get in touch if you're booking for your family, and we'll help arrange your appointments together.
Yellow fever and meningitis vaccinations include a certificate, which some countries ask for as proof before you're allowed to enter.
We recommend booking ahead so we can go through your itinerary properly, but contact us if your trip is coming up soon and we’ll try to fit you in.
Some private health insurance policies cover travel vaccinations. To be sure, we recommend checking with your provider before booking. To help you claim, we can give you a receipt for your records.
It depends on where you're going, what you'll be doing, and how long you're staying. Have a look at the destination guide above, or book a free consultation and we'll go through it with you.
