Quick Answer

Hampstead Heath Pharmacy in NW3 London offers private travel vaccinations and the full range of UK-licensed non-travel vaccines. We make vaccination decisions based on your individual clinical needs and wishes, not the population-level eligibility criteria used by the NHS — so we can often vaccinate where NHS coverage wouldn't apply.

We're a designated NaTHNaC Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (YFVC, authority 5475). Every appointment is run by Mahyar Saremi — a Specialist Prescribing Pharmacist and one of the very few practising travel health clinicians in the UK to hold full Membership of the Faculty of Travel Medicine (MFTM RCPS Glasg), awarded by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

Prices on this page include the pharmacist consultation; there are no separate consultation fees. If you're travelling, try to book 4–6 weeks before departure where you can. We also offer home visits across London from £100 plus the cost of any vaccines.

Vaccines and prescription medications for travel. Your itinerary, health conditions, and prior vaccinations all shape the right plan — your appointment starts with a risk assessment, not a fixed menu.

Altitude Sickness Medicine

£35 all-inclusive
Adults 18+ · Acetazolamide prophylaxis · Consultation + private prescription
Clinical detail
Price
£35 incl. consultation & Rx
Age
18+

We prescribe acetazolamide to prevent acute altitude illness in suitable travellers, subject to consultation. Altitude illness occurs when ascending rapidly above ~2,500 m; severe forms (HACE and HAPE) are life-threatening.

Preventative medication is not a substitute for gradual ascent. Acclimatisation strategy matters more than tablets.

For more detail, see the CDC Yellow Book chapter on high-altitude travel.

Antibiotics for Travellers' Diarrhoea

Travellers' diarrhoea (TD) is the most common health problem affecting overseas travellers. Stand-by antibiotics such as azithromycin are strictly for those at higher risk of severe illness or visiting high-risk areas, supplied following a consultation.

Studies of probiotics to prevent TD are ongoing, but current evidence is insufficient to recommend their use.

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection that's anything but minor. Around 3 in 4 people infected develop acute symptoms — typically severe joint pain, fever, and headache — and roughly 2 in 5 go on to experience debilitating joint pain that can last for months or even years. There is no specific cure: once infected, treatment is limited to managing symptoms.

A liver infection caught from contaminated food and water. The standard schedule is two doses given 6–12 months apart; one dose gives protection from about two weeks after vaccination, which is usually enough for short trips.

Incomplete courses: if you had one dose years ago, you don't need to restart — a single second dose now will complete the course.

Hep A + Hep B Combined (Ambirix)

Clinical detail & schedule
Price/dose
£114
Primary doses
2 (0 + 6–12 mo)
Age
1–15 yrs
Did your child miss the NHS routine Hep B vaccination? Children born before 1 August 2017 missed the universal infant Hep B programme. The combined vaccine is an efficient way to catch up on both infections.

Why Ambirix? Just two injections for combined long-term protection (versus five if Hep A and Hep B are given separately) — simpler for the child, and more cost-effective overall.

Delayed second dose: the second dose should ideally be 6–12 months after the first. Doses beyond this window fall outside the product licence, but evidence shows a delayed second dose still significantly boosts the immune response — there is no maximum interval requiring a course restart.

Unlicensed rapid-schedule use: According to the Green Book, for children (from 2 months) and adults aged 65+, the rapid schedule can be used when there is genuinely insufficient time to complete the standard schedule before travel. There are no data to suggest the rapid schedule would be harmful for these travellers.

MenACWY (Meningitis ACWY)

Price/dose

Age

Travel booster
5 yrs

We offer MenACWY privately — Nimenrix® from 6 weeks and MenQuadfi® from 12 months — well ahead of the NHS routine offer at age 14 (with catch-up available up to the 25th birthday).

Travel: MenACWY is required for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims entering Saudi Arabia (valid up to 5 years for conjugate vaccines), and recommended for long-stay or high-risk visitors to sub-Saharan Africa's meningitis belt — particularly in the dry season (December to June). Certification is included at no extra charge.

NHS vs travel guidance: JCVI doesn't routinely recommend NHS MenACWY boosters because the adolescent programme has driven UK cases to very low levels. That low domestic incidence doesn't apply to travellers — a self-pay booster is particularly relevant for travellers more than 5 years post-dose, unprimed adults (faster waning than primed adolescents), university students whose adolescent dose was at 13–14, and those with complement deficiency, asplenia, or complement-inhibitor use.

An early private dose does not replace the NHS vaccination at age 14, which should still be given at the appropriate time.

If you're travelling to an area where measles is common or currently circulating, please ensure you're fully up to date with the UK routine schedule before departure.

Early vaccination for babies: we can administer MMR from 6 months of age for babies travelling to a high-risk area or during a local outbreak. Treat this as a temporary extra dose for the trip — your baby still needs the standard routine doses at 12–13 months and 18 months.

Vaccine spacing:

  • Yellow Fever & MMR: 4-week minimum interval. In urgent circumstances both may be given at any interval, with an additional MMR dose considered later (Green Book Ch.35).
  • Chickenpox & MMR: if not given the same day, 4-week minimum interval.
  • Mantoux & MMR: delay MMR until the skin test is read.

Intradermal (ID) — £55/dose: the 1-week, 4-dose regimen (MHRA-approved 2024, WHO-endorsed). Given as 4 doses over 2 appointments with a 7-day interval (1 dose in both arms per visit).

Intramuscular (IM) — £110/dose: conventional schedule 0/7/21 days, or rapid schedule 0/3/7 days + 365-day booster.

Important: we do not provide rabies post-exposure treatment (after-bite care). If you need immediate care, please contact the UCLH Travel Clinic Services.

Booster guidance: after a complete primary pre-exposure course, most healthy travellers don't need routine boosters — UK guidance is to base any future doses on individual risk and, where relevant, antibody testing. People with continued high-risk exposure (lab staff, bat handlers) may need periodic serology and boosters via occupational health.

Short-notice travel: two doses on the rapid 14-day schedule provide over 90% protection for the current tick season. The third (completing) dose is still given 5–12 months after dose 2, even after your trip.

Schedules:

  • Standard: Dose 1 → Dose 2 at 1–3 months → Dose 3 at 5–12 months after Dose 2.
  • Rapid: Dose 1 → Dose 2 at 14 days → Dose 3 at 5–12 months after Dose 2. Minimum licensed interval Dose 1–2 is 14 days.
Incomplete or lapsed course? If you've had at least 2 prior TBE doses, you do not need to restart. A single catch-up dose will restore and extend your protection — regardless of how long it's been.

Boosters: first booster 3 years after Dose 3, then every 5 years (ages 1–59) or every 3 years (age 60+).

The top countries for TBE prevalence are Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, and Austria. For more detail, see the TravelHealthPro factsheet on TBE.

A viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, ranging from mild illness to severe disease. There's no specific treatment, so prevention is everything — strict bite avoidance plus vaccination if you're heading to a risk area.

Yellow fever vaccination is only available at designated UK Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres (YFVCs). We are NaTHNaC YFVC #5475, authorised to issue the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) at no extra charge.

Age 60+: please review the NaTHNaC factsheet for suitability before your appointment — the risk-benefit balance shifts with age.
Vaccine spacing: a four-week minimum interval between Yellow Fever and MMR. In urgent situations both may be given at any interval, with an additional MMR dose considered later (Green Book Ch.35).

  • Lost records: if your certificate is lost and you don't have the official dates and batch numbers, the only legally-acceptable approach for immigration authorities is to repeat the vaccination.
  • Medical exemptions: we can issue medical letters of exemption from the ICVP when clinically appropriate.

We provide a range of combination vaccines tailored to different age groups and travel, occupational, or routine-booster requirements:

  • 5-in-1 (Infanrix-IPV+Hib): £128 — diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Hib. Suitable from 8 weeks to 3 years. Interchangeable with the 6-in-1 (Infanrix hexa / Vaxelis) where Hepatitis B is given separately.
  • 4-in-1 Repevax (Tdap-IPV): £100 — diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio. Suitable for 3 years+.
  • 3-in-1 Adacel (Tdap): £100 — diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (no polio). Suitable for 4 years+.

Tdap or Tdap-IPV are recommended for visa requirements, pregnant women (ideally between 16 and 32 weeks for maximum baby protection), or close family members visiting a newborn.

Important note on the 6-in-1: the 6-in-1 vaccines (Infanrix hexa / Vaxelis) are currently only supplied to the NHS and not available privately. If your child needs this, we can administer the 5-in-1 alongside a separate Hepatitis B vaccine to achieve the same protection.

Age requirements & vaccination gap: individuals born before 1 May 2015 didn't receive MenB on the routine NHS programme. Our current stock is Trumenba, licensed strictly for ages 10+. Bexsero (typically used for infants) is currently out of stock.

Boosters: JCVI doesn't currently recommend NHS MenB boosters — driven primarily by population-level cost-effectiveness, not by evidence that boosters are clinically ineffective. Protective antibody levels decline in the years after a primary course, and late adolescence (especially the first year of university) is a second peak in meningococcal disease risk.

Key groups to consider for a booster:

  • University students: teenagers and young adults entering higher education or shared accommodation.
  • Occupational exposure: lab staff working with N. meningitidis (UK guidance: MenB boosters every 5 years).
  • Clinical risk factors: complement deficiency, asplenia, or similar conditions.

Boosters must use the same brand as the primary course. Optimal timing depends on when your primary course completed and your circumstances — generally every 3–5 years; we'll advise during consultation.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease. We offer multiple vaccine options based on age and previous NHS immunisations.

NHS vs private protection: in the NHS, PCV20 (Prevenar 20) is being rolled out to replace PPV23 for adults ≥65 years in late 2025/early 2026. Capvaxive (PCV21) is not currently in the UK national programme but is available from us, privately.

We now offer Capvaxive, a 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine licensed by the MHRA and specifically designed for adults aged 18 and over.

Unlike pneumococcal vaccines originally developed for children, Capvaxive was formulated with adult disease patterns in mind. Its 21 serotypes were selected based on the strains most responsible for serious pneumococcal infections — including pneumonia and meningitis — in adults.

Clinical studies have shown that Capvaxive produces comparable immune responses to other licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for the serotypes they share, and stronger immune responses for the additional serotypes unique to Capvaxive.

Capvaxive covers a broader range of the pneumococcal serotypes currently causing invasive disease in adults aged 65 and over in England than the 20-valent alternative. According to published UK epidemiological data, Capvaxive serotypes account for approximately 82% of invasive pneumococcal disease cases in England, compared with approximately 64% for the 20-valent vaccine.

Already had a pneumococcal jab? You may still be eligible for Capvaxive. If you have previously received PPV23 (Pneumovax), you can receive Capvaxive at least 1 year later. If you have previously received PCV20, a minimum interval of 4 weeks is recommended before receiving Capvaxive. Our pharmacist will review your vaccination history during your appointment and advise whether Capvaxive is right for you.

Birth – 24 months
NHS programme — restricted eligibility. The NHS Beyfortus programme is only available to babies born before 32 weeks gestation, or infants with specific high-risk medical conditions — including chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia), significant congenital heart disease, or severe immune deficiency (SCID).

This means the vast majority of babies — including healthy full-term infants, babies born between 32–36 weeks, and those with no qualifying medical diagnosis — are not covered by the NHS programme and receive no direct protection from Beyfortus on the NHS.

If your baby does not meet the NHS eligibility criteria, you can still protect them privately. A single dose of Beyfortus (nirsevimab) offers over 80% protection against RSV for the entire winter season — we offer this at our clinic so no child need go unprotected.

Beyfortus is a single-dose monoclonal antibody — not a vaccine — providing ready-made protective antibodies that work within days and last 5–6 months.

When to book: late August to early October, before the winter RSV peak.

Yellow Fever and MMR 4-week minimum interval. Where urgent, both may be given at any interval — an additional MMR dose should then be considered (Green Book Ch.35).
Chickenpox (Varicella) and MMR Same day, or a 4-week minimum interval between them.
TB Skin Testing (Mantoux) and MMR
  • Same day: can be performed together.
  • Mantoux already started: delay MMR until the test is read.
  • Recent MMR: wait 4 weeks before a Mantoux test.
All other live vaccines Other live vaccines (BCG, rotavirus, oral typhoid, etc.) can be given in any order with no minimum interval between them.

If your travel date is soon, our clinician will help plan the safest timing for you during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from patients about choosing the right appointment, booking, and what to expect on the day. If your question isn't here, call us on 020 7435 7075 or email info@hhpharmacy.co.uk.

Choosing the right appointment

Which appointment type should I select on the booking form?

Choose by what you need:

  • Travel vaccinations (going abroad, antimalarials, or any vaccine you need for travel) → book a Travel Clinic appointment.
  • Routine, childhood, or specialist vaccinations — Shingrix, RSV, MMR, flu, BCG, Mantoux Test, HPV, Beyfortus, COVID-19, and so on → book a Non-Travel Vaccination appointment.
  • Weight management (Mounjaro or Wegovy) → book a Weight Management Consultation — choose in-person or remote.
  • Blood tests → book a Blood Testing Appointment (full details on our blood test page).

The booking form will then ask how many people are being seen — pick the option that matches your group size.

What's the difference between a FIRST and a FOLLOW UP appointment?

This is the question that trips people up most often, so here's the simple rule:

  • Book a FIRST appointment if you're planning a new trip, starting a new vaccine course with us, or if you had your first dose of a course somewhere else and want us to continue it. Yes — even if you've been to HH before for a different vaccine, each new course starts with a FIRST.
  • Book a FOLLOW UP appointment only if you started this particular vaccine course with us at HH and are coming back for your second or later dose.

When in doubt, book a FIRST. We'd much rather have an extra few minutes of consultation time than discover halfway through that we don't have your initial assessment on file.

What's the pre-appointment questionnaire and when do I complete it?

After booking, we send a short digital health questionnaire. Please complete it before your appointment, not at the clinic — if it isn't done in advance, we may have to reschedule.

Two rules that catch people out:

  • The questionnaire is about the person receiving the vaccination, not the person who made the booking. If you're booking for your child, partner, or anyone else, fill it in with their medical details, not yours.
  • For group bookings, each person needs their own questionnaire — we'll send one per name listed in the “Reason for visit” box.

It takes about five minutes and lets the consultation focus on the vaccines themselves rather than admin.

How do I book for multiple people, or for someone other than myself?

For multiple people: Choose the appointment size that matches your group — we have 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-person options for both Travel Clinic and Non-Travel Vaccination appointments. In the “Reason for visit” field on the booking form, list all the names of people who will be vaccinated. This is how we know who to send individual questionnaires to.

For booking on someone else's behalf (e.g. an elderly parent, or your child): enter their name on the booking, not yours. This puts the appointment record under the right patient.

If you have any doubt, call us on 020 7435 7075 before booking and we'll set it up for you.

Booking & arrival

What do I need to bring to my appointment?

Please bring photo ID, your vaccination records (or your child's Red Book), and — for travel consultations — a copy of your itinerary including destinations and travel dates. If you've had vaccinations elsewhere recently, bring those records too so we can plan around any spacing rules between live vaccines.

How early should I arrive, and what happens if I'm running late?

Please arrive five minutes before your appointment so we can complete any pre-consultation forms calmly. If you're more than ten minutes late we may not be able to see you that day and your deposit may be forfeited — but please always call us on 020 7435 7075 if you're stuck; we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Should I attend if I'm feeling unwell on the day?

A mild cold doesn't usually delay vaccination — you can still come in. But if you have a high fever, feel significantly unwell, or have an active infection (especially one being treated with antibiotics), please call us on 020 7435 7075 before your appointment. We can usually move you to another date without forfeiting your deposit when illness is the reason — much better than dragging yourself in poorly.

Are toilet facilities available at the pharmacy?

We don't have a customer toilet on site. There are public toilets a short walk away, close to the junction of Constantine Road and South End Road — you can locate them on the Great British Public Toilet Map. Please use them before your appointment if you need to.

Is parking available nearby?

There's pay-and-display parking on South End Road and South Hill Park, with longer-stay parking at East Heath Car Park (NW3 1TH) a short walk away. The pharmacy is directly opposite Hampstead Heath rail station (Mildmay line) if you'd rather come by train.

Can children attend appointments? Does a parent need to be present?

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Young people aged 16 or 17 may attend on their own if they can give informed consent for the vaccination being discussed. Chaperones are available on request — please let us know in advance when you book so we can have one ready.

Payment & cancellations

Why is there a £25 deposit?

The £25 deposit is not an extra fee — it's deducted from your total at checkout, so you only ever pay the published price. It reserves your appointment slot and reduces no-shows, which means we can keep waiting-list spaces open for other patients who need an appointment quickly.

What's your cancellation policy?

You can cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours before your appointment and we'll refund the deposit, minus a £1 card-processing fee charged by Stripe. Inside 48 hours, or if you miss the appointment, the deposit is non-refundable. If you're feeling unwell on the day, please call us — we would much rather move you to another date than have you come in poorly.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards are accepted through our secure Stripe payment system — with the single exception of American Express. Cash, contactless mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and standard card payments at the till are all fine.

About vaccinations

How long does a vaccination appointment take?

A standard single-vaccine appointment is around 15 to 20 minutes — most of that is the pharmacist consultation; the injection itself takes seconds. Travel consultations covering several vaccines or complex itineraries typically run to 30 minutes. Family bookings with multiple people need proportionally more time, so please mention this when booking.

How far in advance should I book travel vaccinations?

Where you can, book at least 4 to 6 weeks before travel. Several vaccines need multiple doses spaced out — rabies, hepatitis B, and Japanese encephalitis being the most common — and Yellow Fever specifically needs 10 days after vaccination before the certificate becomes valid. If you're travelling sooner than that, still book: we have rapid schedules for many vaccines that compress timing without losing protection.

Can multiple vaccines be given on the same day?

Yes — most vaccines can be given together at the same appointment, and your immune system handles them easily. There are a few exceptions involving live vaccines that need to be spaced four weeks apart (Yellow Fever with MMR, and chickenpox with MMR, are the main ones). The pharmacist will plan the safest sequence for you during your consultation.

What if my vaccination course was interrupted or paused?

In almost all cases you can pick up where you left off — interrupted courses usually don't need restarting from scratch. The pharmacist will check your records, look at how much time has passed since your last dose, and recommend either the next scheduled dose or, occasionally, an additional catch-up dose if the gap is unusually long. The one important exception is Yellow Fever certification, where lost dates and batch numbers can require repeating the vaccine — see Lost records for the detail.

What if I've had vaccinations before but lost my records?

This comes up often. For most vaccines, if you've had at least one prior dose, a single catch-up dose now will restore your protection — you don't need to restart a full course. The pharmacist will assess your situation during your consultation. The one important exception is Yellow Fever: if you've lost your International Certificate of Vaccination and have no record of the date and batch number, immigration authorities will treat you as unvaccinated and you'd need to repeat the vaccine.

Where do your vaccines come from? Are they UK-sourced?

Yes — all our vaccines are officially licensed UK stock, supplied through approved wholesalers, the same supply chain that supplies the NHS. Cold-chain integrity is maintained throughout: vaccines are stored at strict temperatures (typically 2–8°C) from manufacturer to administration, monitored continuously. This matters because vaccines exposed to incorrect temperatures can quietly lose potency, so traceable, properly stored stock is the difference between a vaccine that protects you and one that doesn't.

NHS coverage & records

Why would I pay privately when the NHS offers some vaccines for free?

The NHS schedule is set at a population level using cost-effectiveness modelling, which means many people who would clinically benefit from a vaccine fall outside the eligibility criteria — for example healthy 60-to-74-year-olds wanting RSV protection, healthy babies wanting Beyfortus, or anyone wanting Shingrix outside the narrow NHS-eligible age bands. Private vaccination is for those situations: the same UK-licensed vaccines, on a schedule that fits your individual clinical needs and wishes.

Will my private vaccination be recorded on my NHS GP records?

We give you a written record of every vaccination, which your GP can add to your NHS record on request. We can also send a summary directly to your GP if you'd prefer — just let us know during your appointment and we'll arrange it.

Medical considerations

Can I be vaccinated if I'm pregnant or planning pregnancy?

It depends on the vaccine. Some (flu, pertussis/Tdap, and the maternal RSV vaccine) are actively recommended in pregnancy. Live vaccines (MMR, Yellow Fever, chickenpox, BCG) are generally avoided in pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Please bring a list of any medications and let us know your pregnancy status or planning timeline at booking — the pharmacist will assess each option individually and recommend a safe schedule.

Can I be vaccinated if I'm immunocompromised or on immunosuppressants?

In most cases yes, but live vaccines (Yellow Fever, MMR, BCG, chickenpox, oral typhoid) need careful clinical assessment and may not be safe depending on the medication and condition. Please tell us about any immunosuppressive treatment — including biologics, methotrexate, ciclosporin, or recent courses of oral steroids — at booking so we can plan safely. Sometimes this means using non-live alternatives or adjusting the timing around your medication doses.

Home visits

Do you offer home visits, and how much do they cost?

Yes — we offer home visits across London. There's a minimum call-out fee of £100, plus the cost of any vaccines administered. Email info@hhpharmacy.co.uk with your address and what you need, and we'll send you a written quote.
