Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service
Prepare for your upcoming adventure with peace of mind, with our Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice . Our Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice service includes a Malaria Prevention service which is designed to help protect you and your family wherever your wanderlust takes you
What is a travel health appointment & why do I need one?
A travel health appointment is needed before vaccinations or medicines are provided, so you should visit your closest MK Pharmacy ideally 6-8 weeks before your departure. This allows ample time to organise any necessary vaccinations or medications you may need.
During your consultation, your pharmacist will ask a few short questions about your travel plans to determine if any vaccinations or medications are recommended for your trip.
If any vaccinations or malaria prevention medication are needed, a detailed consultation will follow, during this consultation you can book travel vaccinations and discuss any malaria prevention medication you may need. Our pharmacists will then provide you with the vaccinations, medicines, and advice necessary to help you have a healthy trip abroad.
We understand that your health is non-negotiable, which is why we go the extra mile to equip you with the knowledge and protection necessary for a seamless travel experience. MK Pharmacy Group has everything you need to make your holiday a breeze.
