Your Travel Health Questions, Answered
Q: How far in advance should I visit the clinic? A: We recommend booking your consultation 6-8 weeks before you travel. Some vaccines, like Rabies or Hepatitis B, require a course of doses spread over several weeks to stimulate full immunity. However, if you are travelling sooner, please still contact us. We can often use accelerated schedules to provide significant protection even days before departure.
Q: Can I get my Yellow Fever certificate immediately?
A: Yes. We are a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (YFVC). You will receive your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) signed and stamped immediately after your injection.
Q: Do I need a doctor’s referral?
A: No. As specialist pharmacists with prescribing rights, we can assess, prescribe, and administer all necessary travel vaccinations and antimalarials directly during your appointment.
Q: Is the clinic suitable for children?
A: Yes, we provide travel vaccinations for children. Our team is experienced in making the process as stress-free as possible for younger patients. Please ensure you bring your child’s “Red Book” or vaccination history to the appointment.
Q: What should I bring to my appointment?
A: Please bring a detailed itinerary of your trip (including specific regions/cities), your previous vaccination history (if available), and a list of any medication you are currently taking. This allows Mahyar and the team to perform an accurate risk assessment.
Q: Where are you located?
A: We are conveniently located at 35 South End Road, London, NW3 2PY. We are directly opposite the Hampstead Heath Rail Station and just a short 10-minute walk from Belsize Park Tube Station. Paid parking is available on South End Road.

Insect Protection
Travelers should be aware of the risks posed by insect-borne diseases, such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya.
Proper precautions can help minimise these risks and ensure a safer journey.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks to reduce exposed skin.
- Treat your clothing with permethrin or opt for pretreated garments for added protection. Clothing treated with EX4 Anti-Mosquito Spray retains its repellent properties through multiple washes.
- While skin repellents can also be applied to clothing, their protection lasts only as long as on skin and needs reapplication after washing.
- Apply a high-quality repellent as a lotion, liquid, or spray directly to exposed skin.
- We recommend Expedition 50 PRO DEET Mosquito Repellent or Moskito Guard. These products combine effective protection with a pleasant application experience.
- Always use insect repellent when outdoors—or even indoors if mosquitoes may enter. Remember, mosquitoes can bite at any time of day or night.
- Inspect your body thoroughly during and after outdoor activities to detect and promptly remove any attached ticks.
- Be cautious of alternative methods like citronella, repellent wristbands, garlic supplements, or vitamin B, as they do NOT offer reliable protection against bites or disease transmission.
By taking these measures, you can significantly reduce your risk of insect-borne illnesses and focus on enjoying your travels.

Food and Beverage Safety Tips for International Travelers: What to Eat and What to Avoid
Food – The popular saying, “Peel it, cook it, boil it, or forget it,” while memorable, isn’t backed by solid evidence. However, exercising caution is always wise. Opt for freshly prepared meals and steer clear of raw or undercooked vegetables, salads, and meats whenever possible.
Pay attention to hygiene—ensure that meals are not served on dirty plates or cups, and watch out for contamination from water or insects.
Water – Stick to industrially bottled water that is properly sealed, preferably carbonated. Hot beverages like tea, served in clean cups, are generally safe. Avoid fresh dairy products unless you can confirm their quality.
If safe bottled water is unavailable, use disinfecting methods such as advanced filters that can remove viruses and chemicals, or—where practical—boil the water before drinking.
