Frequently Asked Questions
When should I visit a Travel Clinic?
When should I visit a Travel Clinic?
Most vaccines take time to become effective and may require more than one dose over a span of several weeks. That’s why you should visit one of our travel clinics at least 6-8 weeks before your departure date. This will give your body enough time to build up an immunity and maximise your travel experience.
However, we know that life doesn’t always go to plan. If you have a last minute or emergency trip come up, we can give you a last-minute appointment to prepare you as best as possible.
How do travel vaccines work?
How do Travel vaccinations Work?
You can obtain a host of protective vaccines prior to any travel as part our Travel Clinic services in London. The vaccines we offer at Putney Travel Clinic cover a wide range of preventable illnesses presenting endemically in different regions around the world. Travel vaccines can either be administered via injections or oral prophylaxis in the case of antimalarials and work to invoke an immune response within your body. This immune response is essentially training to prepare your body in self-defence should you become exposed to any form of preventable illness, either significantly lessening symptoms of anything you may contract or preventing symptoms completely.

The cost of travel vaccinations will vary depending on the vaccine, and because we offer so many, it is best to speak with our pharmacists regarding the price of each vaccine specifically. You can expect a price range between £30-90 per dose, with some vaccinations requiring more than one injection to obtain full protection. Our prices are competitive, and you will always know up front what charges you can expect when utilising our Travel Clinic services. You can pay for the vaccinations you receive either in cash or by card for your convenience and a receipt will always be given for your records.

How long before I travel do I need vaccinations?
How long before I travel do I need vaccinations?
Different vaccinations require different schedules for appropriate dosage so it is important that you get in touch as soon as you know you will be travelling abroad. It can take time for your immune system to build a sufficient defence response so travel vaccinations are most useful when planned ahead for and, depending on the vaccination, you may require more than one dose before you depart. Generally speaking, you should allow 6-8 weeks before your time of departure for any travel vaccination you may require.
