Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Hampstead Heath Pharmacy's travel clinic.
How far in advance should I book my travel vaccinations?
We recommend booking 6–8 weeks before your departure. Certain vaccines, such as Rabies and Hepatitis B, require multiple doses over several weeks to provide full protection.
If you are travelling sooner, please still contact us or book online! We can often use accelerated dosing schedules to provide significant protection even a few days before departure.
Source: NaTHNaC TravelHealthPro →Can I get a Yellow Fever certificate on the same day?
Yes. Hampstead Heath Pharmacy is a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (YFVC) approved by NaTHNaC.
You will receive your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP)—signed, stamped, and valid for life—immediately after your vaccination in our NW3 clinic.
Do I need a GP or doctor referral for a private travel clinic?
No referral is needed. Our lead pharmacist, Mahyar Saremi, is a qualified Independent Prescriber (IPresc) and a Member of the Faculty of Travel Medicine.
He can independently assess your travel itinerary, prescribe, and administer all required vaccines and antimalarials in a single, seamless appointment.
Do you offer antimalarial tablets?
Yes. During your consultation, we will assess the malaria risk of your specific itinerary. If required, our prescribing pharmacist can prescribe and dispense the most appropriate antimalarial medication (such as Malarone, Doxycycline, or Lariam) directly to you on the day.
Can you provide medication for altitude sickness?
Yes. If your itinerary involves high-altitude destinations (such as trekking in the Himalayas, Andes, or Mount Kilimanjaro), our prescribing pharmacist can assess your risk.
If clinically appropriate, we can prescribe and supply Acetazolamide (Diamox) to help prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Crucially, we will also provide expert advice on safe acclimatization strategies so you can minimize your risk without relying solely on medication.
Can I get standby antibiotics for traveller's diarrhoea?
Yes, we can help manage this risk. Traveller's diarrhoea is incredibly common and can severely disrupt a trip.
During your consultation, we will provide extensive advice on food and water hygiene. Depending on your destination and medical history, our independent prescriber can prescribe and supply a standby course of antibiotics for you to take with you, ensuring you have immediate treatment available if you fall ill abroad.
Do you offer treatments for jet lag?
We do. Crossing multiple time zones can take a heavy toll on your body. If you are concerned about jet lag impacting your holiday or business trip, we can discuss effective management strategies.
When clinically suitable, our prescribing pharmacist can prescribe and supply Melatonin, which can help reset your body's natural sleep-wake cycle and significantly reduce the effects of jet lag.
Do you offer travel vaccinations for children and babies?
Yes, we are a family-friendly clinic with extensive experience in paediatric travel vaccinations.
Please bring your child’s Personal Child Health Record (the "Red Book") or a printout of their NHS immunisation history to the appointment so we can accurately review their current vaccination status.
What if I don't know my previous vaccination history?
Don't worry! You can easily view your routine immunisation records via the NHS App. If you are unable to access them, our prescribing pharmacist will conduct a thorough risk assessment during your consultation to safely determine the best course of action for your trip.
What travel vaccines can I get for free on the NHS?
The NHS usually provides Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera, and Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio boosters free of charge through your registered GP surgery.
However, vaccines for Rabies, Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY, Hepatitis B, Tick-Borne Encephalitis, Chikungunya, and Dengue are only available privately. We stock all of these routinely at our Hampstead clinic.
Source: NHS Travel Vaccinations →How much do travel vaccinations cost?
Prices vary depending on the specific vaccine and the number of doses required. We pride ourselves on being competitively priced for the North London area.
The cost of your initial consultation deposit is automatically deducted from your total bill on the day.
