FAQ’s
These are the most common questions that we get asked.
What vaccines do I need for my travel destination?
The vaccines you need depend on your destination, the duration of your stay, and your planned activities. Our pharmacists will provide a personalized consultation to recommend the necessary vaccines based on your travel itinerary and health status.
How far in advance should I get my travel vaccines?
It’s best to get your travel vaccines at least 4-6 weeks before your trip. This allows enough time for the vaccines to take effect and for any multiple-dose vaccines to be administered.
What should I bring to my vaccination appointment?
Please bring your travel itinerary, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your medical history, including any previous vaccinations. This information helps our pharmacists provide the best care and recommendations.
How much does this cost?
Price will vary depending on what vaccine or treatment the Pharmacist recommends. Our full price list can be accessed here.
