Whether you're planning a relaxing beach holiday or an adventurous trek through remote regions, ensuring you have the right vaccinations is crucial for your health and safety. At May & Thomson Pharmacy in Woking, our dedicated travel clinic provides comprehensive vaccination services for residents across Surrey.
Why Travel Vaccinations Matter
Many countries require proof of vaccination for entry, particularly for diseases like yellow fever. Beyond legal requirements, vaccinations protect you from serious illnesses that may be prevalent in your destination. Our Woking pharmacy team stays updated on the latest travel health advisories to provide you with accurate, current information.
Common Travel Vaccinations We Offer
Our Sheerwater-based travel clinic offers a wide range of vaccinations including:
- Hepatitis A and B - Essential for many destinations in Asia, Africa, and South America
- Typhoid - Recommended for travel to areas with poor sanitation
- Yellow Fever - Required for entry to many African and South American countries
- Japanese Encephalitis - For extended travel in rural Asia
- Rabies - Recommended for adventure travellers and those visiting remote areas
- Meningitis ACWY - Required for Hajj pilgrimage and recommended for sub-Saharan Africa
When to Book Your Appointment
We recommend booking your travel clinic appointment at our Woking pharmacy at least 6-8 weeks before your departure. This allows time for vaccines to take effect and for any courses requiring multiple doses. However, if you're travelling at short notice, don't worry - we can still help with last-minute consultations.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
During your visit to our Parfitt Way pharmacy, our trained pharmacists will review your travel itinerary, discuss potential health risks, and recommend appropriate vaccinations. We'll also provide advice on malaria prevention, food and water safety, and other travel health precautions.
Serving Woking, Sheerwater and Beyond
Located conveniently in Sheerwater, we serve patients from across Woking, West Byfleet, Pyrford, Horsell, and the wider Surrey area. Our travel clinic is easily accessible with parking available nearby.
