What the Service Is

The Travel Clinic at Weelsby View Pharmacy provides comprehensive, professional, and personalised travel health services to help you stay safe and protected wherever your journey takes you. Whether you’re planning a tropical holiday, a business trip, a gap year, or an adventure across multiple continents, we offer everything you need to prepare for international travel—including vaccinations, malaria prevention, and tailored health advice based on your destination and itinerary.

Travelling abroad exposes you to different climates, environments, and potential health risks. Our dedicated travel-trained pharmacists ensure you receive expert guidance to help minimise these risks and give you confidence throughout your trip. We provide a complete service, from pre-travel assessments to vaccinations and medication supply, all carried out in a private consultation room at one of our convenient Grimsby branches.

At Weelsby View Pharmacy, we understand that every traveller is unique. Whether you’re visiting family overseas, volunteering abroad, or embarking on a safari or backpacking trip, your needs will differ. Our service is designed around this uniqueness—focused on your safety, comfort, and travel plans—so you receive advice that is relevant, reliable, and tailored specifically to you.

What the Service Covers & How It Works

Our travel clinic provides an extensive range of vaccines and preventive treatments recommended for global travel. This includes common vaccinations such as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Polio, as well as region-specific or higher-risk vaccines such as Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, and Cholera. We also provide malaria prevention medication, altitude sickness advice, and support with managing medications while abroad.

When you book an appointment, we begin with a detailed travel health consultation. During this session, the pharmacist will review your travel plans, including which countries you’re visiting, the areas within those countries, the length of your stay, the type of activities you’ll be doing, and your previous vaccination history. This helps us understand any risks associated with your trip—such as exposure to mosquito-borne diseases, food and water risks, or contact with animals—and identify which vaccinations or medications you may require.

Once your needs have been assessed, we’ll explain each recommended vaccine or preventive treatment, how it works, and how long protection will last. Some vaccines require a course of doses over several weeks, so it’s best to book your appointment well ahead of your departure date. However, we can still support last-minute travellers and provide accelerated schedules where clinically safe.

FAQs About Travel Health

When should I book my travel clinic appointment?
Ideally, you should book at least 6–8 weeks before travelling. Some vaccines require multiple doses, but we also accommodate last-minute appointments where possible.

What vaccinations do I need for my destination?
This depends on where you are travelling. During your consultation, our pharmacist will advise based on up-to-date travel health guidelines.

Can you provide malaria medication?
Yes. We supply a range of malaria prevention tablets following a clinical assessment.

Do vaccinations hurt?
Most vaccinations cause only mild discomfort. Any soreness usually fades within a day or two.

Can children use the travel clinic?
Yes. We offer travel vaccinations for both adults and children, depending on the vaccine type and clinical suitability.
