Travel Vaccines in West London
Trips abroad feel exciting, yet unfamiliar microbes can spoil plans unless your immune defence is ready.
Fulham Palace Pharmacy runs a local travel clinic that prepares residents of Fulham, Kensington, Putney, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Battersea and wider London with evidence based vaccines, antimalarial advice and passport ready documentation before departure.
Why plan early
The NHS recommends arranging travel health checks at least six weeks before flying, because some vaccines need multiple doses and your body takes time to build full protection.
Early planning also avoids supply issues that can affect high demand vaccines such as yellow fever, reported by the World Health Organization during peak seasons.
Vaccine options
Your itinerary, trip length, activities, and personal health will guide recommendations, yet several core vaccines apply to many travellers visiting tropical or rural regions, according to the National Travel Health Network and Centre.
- Yellow Fever
- Hepatitis B
- Measles Mumps Rubella
- Hep A and Hep B combined
- Rabies
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Cholera
- Tick Borne Encephalitis
- HPV
- Typhoid
- Antimalarial Tablets
- Hepatitis A
- Meningitis ACWY
- DTP
- Meningitis B
Advice also covers insect bite avoidance, food safety, and mosquito net use, helping lower malaria and travellers diarrhoea risk, issues highlighted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office as leading reasons for British holiday insurance claims.
Anti-malarial choices
Antimalarial protection varies by region, and our team explains options such as atovaquone proguanil, doxycycline, or mefloquine, reviewing advantages, side effects, and start dates to maximise blood drug levels before entry.
Convenience of Fulham Palace Travel Clinic
Demand for travel jabs London wide soars before the school holidays, yet Fulham travel clinic maintains a steady cold chain with onsite refrigeration and daily stock checks, preventing frustrating last minute cancellations.
Patients book travel vaccines online through our secure platform, choosing a date that suits their diary, often outside typical surgery hours, a convenience praised by frequent business flyers from Heathrow.
After booking, an automated pre consult form arrives by email, capturing medical history, allergies, and previous vaccinations, giving the pharmacist time to review and prepare tailored options before you step inside.
On the day of the appointment
Arrive at Fulham Palace Pharmacy on your chosen slot, and relax in a private consultation room while trained staff confirm details, discuss destination health alerts, and answer any outstanding questions in clear language.
Most common vaccines sit in stock, meaning many patients receive jabs on the same day as their consultation, saving repeat trips and giving extra time to focus on packing bags and itinerary planning.
The pharmacist will administer recommended vaccines with single use equipment and issue the International Certificate of Vaccination where required, such as yellow fever, ensuring border officials accept your documents without delay.
You will receive guidance on side effects and a follow up schedule if multiple doses are needed.
Most travellers experience only mild soreness, yet our pharmacist remains available by phone for reassurance, a service that local families appreciate when children receive vaccines such as Meningitis B or DTP.
Safety and records
Every dose is recorded in the national Yellow Card scheme, allowing ongoing monitoring of safety signals and giving you transparent reassurance that pharmacovigilance continues long after you leave the consultation room.
Trusted by the community
Local GP practices and tour operators often refer clients to Fulham Palace Pharmacy because of our clear communication and proven record of opening early for humanitarian volunteers responding to sudden overseas emergencies.
Easy access for West London
Located on Fulham Palace Road, the pharmacy sits minutes from Putney Bridge station, with direct bus routes from Hammersmith and Chelsea, quick river links from Battersea, and step free access for patients using wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Evening and Saturday appointments give residents of Kensington and beyond a faster solution than waiting weeks for a GP travel referral, letting you collect medicines in one efficient visit.
Transparent pricing
Prices are listed on the booking page, and include the consultation, vaccine dose, certificate, and any antimalarial prescription, so you know the fee before confirming.
Payment can be made at the counter or online, and many travel insurance policies refund preventive vaccinations, a detail worth checking with your provider.
Smart travel tips
Check FCDO travel advice for each stop, carry a digital copy of your certificates, drink bottled water where advised, and store medicine in your hand luggage to protect it from extreme baggage hold temperatures that can damage vaccine potency.
