Travel health clinic in Derry
Prepare properly for your journey.
Destination-specific travel advice, vaccinations and malaria prevention from a local pharmacist-led healthcare team.
A personalised assessment
Travel advice should fit your trip—and your health.
Recommendations can vary according to destination, season, trip length, activities and individual medical circumstances. We assess those details before advising you.
Your health
Your medical history, regular medicines, allergies and previous vaccinations are considered before any recommendation is made.
Your protection
We explain recommended and required vaccinations, malaria prevention and practical precautions for food, water, insects and travel.
Your plan
Where appropriate, vaccination or treatment can be arranged with clear advice about timing, doses and any follow-up needed.
Before your appointment
Bring the details that help us advise you safely.
If possible, arrange your consultation well before departure. Some vaccinations require more than one dose or time to provide protection, but it is still worth asking for advice if your journey is approaching.
Vaccines and medicines are recommended or supplied only when clinically appropriate following an individual assessment.
Please have available
- Your full itinerary and departure date
- Any vaccination records you have
- A list of regular medicines
- Relevant medical conditions and allergies
- Details of previous vaccine reactions

Common questions
Helpful information before you book.
How early should I arrange travel advice?
Book as early as practical because some vaccines require multiple doses or time to provide protection. It is still worth seeking advice if departure is close.
Will I receive every vaccine at my first appointment?
Not necessarily. Recommendations depend on your itinerary, health and vaccine history, and some courses require more than one visit.
What should I bring?
Bring your itinerary, departure date, any vaccination records and a current list of medicines and medical conditions.
