The Importance of Travel Vaccines
When you travel abroad, your body encounters diseases and infections that it may never have been exposed to before. Travelling to tropical or developing regions exposes you to a range of infections including typhoid, hepatitis A, and yellow fever that thrive where sanitation is limited or mosquitoes are prevalent, and that can cause serious, prolonged illness if you are not protected. In some cases, contracting a preventable travel illness can mean weeks of hospitalisation abroad, with significant financial and health consequences.
The good news is that the majority of serious travel-related infections are entirely preventable with the right vaccinations. A pre-travel health consultation with our pharmacists at Jasins Pharmacy will ensure you know exactly which vaccines are recommended or required for your destination, leaving you free to enjoy your trip with confidence.

Why Choose Jasins Pharmacy for Your Travel Vaccines in Hounslow?
There are plenty of options when it comes to travel vaccinations, but Jasins Pharmacy offers something that larger clinics and GP surgeries often cannot — a fast, personal, and convenient service from a team that genuinely cares about your travel health.
Registered Yellow Fever Centre
Not every pharmacy is authorised to administer the yellow fever vaccine. Jasins Pharmacy is a registered yellow fever vaccination centre, meaning we can administer the vaccine and issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) — the document required for entry to many countries in Africa and South America. Your certificate is issued on the day of your appointment.
No GP Referral Needed
One of the most common frustrations travellers face is the difficulty of getting a timely GP appointment for travel vaccinations. At Jasins Pharmacy, you can book directly with our travel health team — no referral, no waiting weeks for an appointment. Simply book online or call us on 020 8560 5819.
Personalised Travel Health Consultations
Every appointment includes a personalised travel health consultation. Our pharmacists will review your destination, itinerary, planned activities, and medical history to ensure you receive the right vaccinations for your specific trip — not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
Travelling Soon? Don’t Leave It Too Late. Getting vaccinated is not something you can leave until the last minute, as most travel vaccines need time to build full protection in your body. Contact us to book your consultation at Jasins Pharmacy in Hounslow today and give yourself the best possible start before you travel.
When Should I Book My Travel Vaccines?
Timing is one of the most important factors when it comes to travel vaccinations. As a general rule, you should aim to book your travel health appointment at least four to six weeks before your departure date. This allows time for multi-dose vaccine courses to be completed, and for your immune system to develop full protection before you travel.
That said, if your trip is coming up sooner than expected, don’t assume it’s too late. Some vaccines — such as the single-dose hepatitis A or typhoid injection — can still offer meaningful protection even if given closer to your departure date. At Jasins Pharmacy, we regularly see last-minute travellers and will always do our best to ensure you are as well protected as possible, regardless of how soon you are travelling.
What to Expect at Your Travel Vaccination Appointment
Your travel health appointment at Jasins Pharmacy is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. During your consultation, our pharmacist will ask you about your travel destination and itinerary, your planned activities, your current health and medical history, and any vaccinations you have already received. Based on this information, they will recommend the most appropriate vaccines and provide you with clear guidance on timing, possible side effects, and any additional precautions you should take while travelling — such as malaria prevention, food and water hygiene, and insect bite avoidance.
Most vaccinations are administered on the same day as your consultation, meaning you can leave your appointment fully protected and ready to travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to the questions our travel health team at Jasins Pharmacy hears most often.
How do I know which travel vaccines I need?
The travel vaccines you need depend on your destination, the length of your trip, your planned activities, and your existing vaccination history. The best way to find out is to book a travel health consultation at Jasins Pharmacy in Hounslow, where our pharmacists will provide personalised advice based on your specific travel plans.
Are travel vaccines available on the NHS?
Some travel vaccines — such as hepatitis A and typhoid — may be available on the NHS in certain circumstances, but the majority of travel vaccinations are not routinely funded and must be obtained privately. At Jasins Pharmacy, we offer a full range of private travel vaccines at competitive prices, with no GP referral required.
Can I get the yellow fever certificate at Jasins Pharmacy?
Yes — Jasins Pharmacy in Hounslow is a registered yellow fever vaccination centre, fully authorised to administer the yellow fever vaccine and issue the official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). Your certificate will be issued on the day of your appointment.
How far in advance should I book my travel vaccines?
We recommend booking your travel health appointment at least four to six weeks before your departure date, particularly if you require a multi-dose vaccine course. However, if you are travelling at short notice, please contact us — we will always do our best to ensure you are as well protected as possible before you go.
Can I have multiple travel vaccines at the same appointment?
In most cases, yes — many travel vaccines can be given at the same appointment, which helps to minimise the number of visits required before your trip. Our pharmacist will advise on the most appropriate schedule during your consultation, taking into account any interactions or contraindications.
Do I need travel vaccines if I am visiting a popular tourist destination?
Even popular tourist destinations can carry risks of vaccine-preventable diseases, particularly if you plan to travel beyond resort areas, eat street food, or visit rural regions. A travel health consultation at Jasins Pharmacy will help you assess the risks specific to your destination and itinerary, regardless of how well-travelled the route may be.
