Travel Vaccination Clinic in Hampstead, London NW3

There is no separate consultation fee when you have a vaccine or medicine: every price on this page includes the consultation, the vaccine and any certificate. If, after your assessment, nothing is needed, a £25 consultation fee applies and your deposit covers it, so there is nothing further to pay.

Ideally at least four to six weeks before travel, as NaTHNaC advises, because vaccines such as rabies, hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis need more than one dose, and a yellow fever certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. If you are travelling sooner, book anyway: several vaccines have accelerated schedules and a last-minute appointment is still worthwhile. Pregnant travellers and anyone with a health condition should book earlier.

A single-vaccine appointment takes around 15 to 20 minutes, most of it the consultation. A travel consultation covering several vaccines or a complex itinerary typically runs to 30 minutes, and family bookings take longer. Completing the questionnaire before you arrive keeps the time focused on your trip.

The deposit you pay at booking reserves your appointment and is deducted in full from your bill at the visit. It is never an extra charge. It is usually £25, more for group bookings, and the exact figure is shown before you confirm and again on your receipt.

Cancel or rearrange with at least 48 hours’ notice and we refund almost all of your deposit, less a £1 administrative fee that covers card-processing and admin costs. With less notice, or if you do not attend, a £25 charge applies, or the deposit rate advertised for your service. Manage your booking from the link in your confirmation email, or contact us. Full details are in our terms and conditions.

Not everyone who books needs a vaccine or medicine: you may already be protected, your destination may not require one, or vaccination may not be clinically appropriate for you. You will still have had a full risk assessment and personalised advice, so a £25 consultation fee applies and your deposit covers it, with nothing further to pay.

If we can’t provide a required vaccine or certificate before the departure date you give us at booking, you won’t pay a consultation fee. Please enter your departure date accurately when you book, because that is the date we work to.

Book a First appointment for any new trip, and also if you started a vaccine course elsewhere and need the next dose, so we have time to review your existing course. Book a Follow-up only if you began the course at our clinic. When in doubt, book a First.

Yes. If you are booking for someone else, use their name on the booking, not your own, so their clinical record is created correctly. For several people, choose the appointment size that matches your group and enter every name in the “Reason for visit” box, so we can send each person their own questionnaire.

Two things. First, complete the pre-consultation questionnaire sent with your booking confirmation email, which captures your itinerary, medical history and previous vaccinations. Second, bring photo ID, your itinerary and any vaccination records, such as an NHS App printout, the Red Book or cards from previous travel clinics, so we avoid duplicate doses and plan accelerated schedules accurately.

Travel consultations are booked online, where you can see live availability and choose a time, including same-day slots when available. We don’t take travel bookings by phone or walk-ins for travel vaccines, which keeps appointment times reliable. NHS flu and COVID-19 vaccines are different: book those through the NHS website or NHS App, or walk in.

Yes. We are a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (No. 5475). Your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is signed, stamped and issued immediately after vaccination. It is valid for life, and becomes valid for entry 10 days after the vaccination date.

No. Mahyar Saremi is an Independent Prescriber with MFTM RCPS(Glasg) and CTH, so he can assess your itinerary, prescribe and administer the vaccines and medicines you need in a single appointment. Referrals from GPs and other clinics are welcome for complex cases, but they are not required.

Yes. If your itinerary carries a malaria risk, we prescribe and dispense the most appropriate antimalarial for you on the day, such as atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine, together with advice on bite avoidance. Tablets are priced individually: see the travel medicines table above.

Sometimes. In the UK the dengue vaccine is intended mainly for people who have had dengue before. If you have never had it, the Green Book says the vaccine is not usually recommended but may be considered after discussion with a travel health clinician experienced in weighing its risks and benefits. Mahyar makes that assessment at your consultation, looking at where you are going, how long and how often, your likely exposure to daytime-biting mosquitoes, your health and your own view of the risks. Where it would change the decision, we can arrange an antibody blood test, read alongside your travel and vaccination history. It is an individual decision, not a routine offer, and sometimes the answer is no. The course is two doses three months apart, so ask about it early. Full details are on the dengue card in our vaccine directory.

Possibly, after an individual assessment, but not within six months. UK guidance suggests waiting about a year after a laboratory-confirmed dengue infection, because a recent infection gives short-lived protection against all four dengue types. It lists this as a precaution, not a contraindication. Our policy is never to vaccinate within six months of a dengue infection. Between six and twelve months, if you are travelling again, Mahyar weighs the timing at your consultation: when and how your infection was confirmed, where you are going, for how long and how often, and whether a blood test would help. Sometimes the right answer is to wait and book the course for later. People who have had dengue are the group the vaccine is mainly intended for, so a deferred dose is a booking, not a refusal.

No. The course is two doses three months apart, but you do not need both before you go: one dose can be given before travel and the second on your return. In the main trial, in 4 to 16 year olds living in dengue-endemic countries, protection began about 14 days after the first dose, and over the three months before the second dose one dose was 82% effective against confirmed dengue (Petri et al., Vaccine, 2024). The second dose completes the course, so we book it when we give the first. The same individual assessment applies whether or not you have had dengue, and bite avoidance matters whatever you decide.

One has, and it is not the one we use. On 20 October 2026 the MHRA announced the withdrawal of the UK licence for Ixchiq, a live chikungunya vaccine, after a safety review that found serious reactions, mostly in older adults and people with underlying conditions (Drug Safety Update). Vimkunya, the vaccine we use, is a different, non-live vaccine and is not affected by that decision. We have never used Ixchiq. If you had Ixchiq elsewhere, the MHRA says you do not need another vaccination; report any suspected side effect through the Yellow Card scheme.

Yes. For high-altitude destinations such as the Himalayas, the Andes or Kilimanjaro we can prescribe acetazolamide where appropriate (£35, consultation included), alongside advice on acclimatisation, which matters more than tablets.

Yes. Depending on your destination and medical history, the prescriber can supply a standby course of antibiotics (£35, consultation included) with clear advice on when to use it, alongside food and water hygiene advice. Standby antibiotics are for travellers at higher risk of severe illness or visiting higher-risk areas, not for everyone.

Yes. Where clinically suitable we can prescribe and supply melatonin (£49, consultation included) to help reset your sleep-wake cycle when crossing several time zones.

Yes. We vaccinate children of all ages, including babies from the minimum licensed age for each vaccine, with child-specific dosing and risk assessment. Please bring your child’s Personal Child Health Record (Red Book) or NHS immunisation history. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

You can view your routine NHS immunisation records in the NHS App, or ask your GP practice for a printout. If no reliable record exists, UKHSA guidance is to treat you as unvaccinated for that vaccine and plan a full course, which the prescriber will do safely at your consultation.

GP practices that offer travel vaccinations usually provide hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera and the diphtheria, tetanus and polio booster free of charge, although not every practice still offers them. Rabies, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis ACWY, hepatitis B, tick-borne encephalitis, chikungunya and dengue are only available privately, and we stock all of them. See the NHS travel vaccination page.

Yes, with your consent. The pre-appointment questionnaire asks whether we may share your record with your GP; if you agree, we send a complete vaccination record to your registered practice after your appointment so it can be added to your NHS record. You also receive your own written record of every vaccination.

We are at 35 South End Road, London NW3 2PY, directly opposite Hampstead Heath Rail Station (Mildmay line) and about ten minutes’ walk from Belsize Park Underground station via South End Green. Buses 1, 24, 46 and C11 stop at South End Green. Pay-and-display bays on South End Road and South Hill Park, and East Heath Car Park (NW3 1TH), are managed through the RingGo app.
