Booking the flights is the fun part. The unglamorous-but-critical part is the one travellers leave too late: vaccinations. Some courses need multiple doses spread over weeks, which means the ideal time to sort them is 4–6 weeks before you fly.
Sandwell Pharmacy Group's travel clinic in West Bromwich covers the common travel vaccines and anti-malarials — and our online checker tells you in under a minute what your specific trip is likely to need.
Hepatitis A (£65 per dose, paediatric £55), Hepatitis B (£55 per dose, paediatric £40), Typhoid (£35), Meningitis ACWY (£45 — certificate mandatory for Hajj and Umrah visas), Yellow Fever (£65, with the internationally recognised certificate some countries require for entry), tetanus-diphtheria-polio boosters, and anti-malarial tablets from £30 (doxycycline £30, atovaquone/proguanil £36, Malarone £40), matched to your exact destination and itinerary.
Sub-Saharan Africa: the fullest list — Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever for many countries, Meningitis ACWY in the meningitis belt, and anti-malarials. South and Southeast Asia: Hepatitis A and Typhoid as standard, anti-malarials for rural travel, Hepatitis B for longer stays. Central and South America: Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever for Amazon regions. Middle East: Hepatitis A and Typhoid, plus mandatory Meningitis ACWY for pilgrims. Europe, North America, Australia: usually just up-to-date routine boosters.
Use the 'Check what I need' tool on our travel page — four questions about your destination, trip type and duration produce your recommended list with prices, and you book a free consultation in the same flow. The pharmacist confirms the final schedule for your exact itinerary, gives the jabs in store, and issues any certificates. Rural trips, long stays and visiting family abroad all change the picture, so tell us everything.
