Why Travel Health Counts
Traveling overseas can leave you open to infections that are not found in the UK. From typhoid and hepatitis through to malaria and yellow fever, some countries have greater health risks. This is why getting the correct vaccinations and guidance beforehand is so important and we provide full safety vaccinations from our Pharmacy Slough.
At Pharmacy Slough we ensure it is simple for you to take care of your health before, during, and after your journey.
Our Travel Health Services Include:
✅ Full Travel Health Consultation
✅ Vaccination Assessment and Administration
✅ Malaria Prevention and Medication
✅ Travel First Aid Kit Advice
✅ General Health and Safety Tips Based on Destination
We customize each consultation to your destination, duration of stay, intended activities, and your personal health requirements.
Common Travel Vaccines We Provide
Depending on your destination, we administer vaccinations like:
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A & B
- Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio
- Cholera
- Rabies (for high-risk areas or long stays)
- Japanese Encephalitis

We suggest you make an appointment at least 4 to 6 weeks prior to travelling to enable the vaccines to work in full force.
