Protect your Holiday Health with Travel Vaccinations

Heading for a family summer getaway? As well as looking forward to sun, sea and sand, have you remembered to check what vaccines you’ll need?
Understandably, given our busy lives, we’re used to people stocking up on holiday toiletries, tummy pills, insect repellent and suncream at the last minute (that’s why we open early till late!). The good news is, even if your GP’s booked up till Christmas, getting protected against potentially deadly holiday diseases is speedy, simple and effective.
BSP Travel Vaccination Top Tips
Easier Safe than Sorry: Much worse than a bout of holiday-belly, our dispensing chemists have seen the debilitating long-term effects of many preventable diseases you can easily be protected from, including Hepatitis A and B, Yellow Fever, Malaria, Typhoid, Tetanus, Meningitis, Japanese Encephalitis and many more.
Not Sure? Pop in and Ask: For example, malaria-carrying mosquitos thrive in holiday hotspots including large parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Pacific islands. Yellow fever is a risk in parts of Africa, Trinidad, and South and Central America. Our dedicated vaccination expert Nabila Malik is your independent pharmacist in Lancaster, qualified to advise and provide all your protection for your dream destination.
Don’t Risk Being Refused Entry: Second to protecting your health, did you know many countries insist on proof of certain vaccinations before entry? That’s worth taking 5 minutes to check, rather than risk not even getting out of the airport…
It’s Not Too Late: We know life is busy: if you’re on the cusp of a holiday with nagging doubts that you might not be fully protected, don’t leave it to chance. One quick, convenient appointment, and Nabila can advise and administer vaccinations, medications, and travel health advice, wherever you’re heading. Walk-ins are available whenever we can, or contact or book here for peace of mind.
Not Just for Holidays: Overseas work, weddings, stag or hen dos; viruses and bitey-things don’t care, so don’t forget either! We also offer a wide range of non-travel vaccines, chickenpox, shingles, HPV, RSV, MMR, Hepatitis B, pneumonia, flu and Covid-19. Any queries, especially with the new school year approaching, just pop in and ask your friendly pharmacist.
Whether you’re getting away, staycationing, or wedded to your work (Tariq and Nabila, we’re looking at you!), enjoy the rest of your summer, and don’t forget to regularly dive into our Facebook for great seasonal health tips.
